airbag on steering 2004 X5 steering wheel

[omodos]

ok hi all, cut a long story short, mechanic took of my airbag and damaged clips on wiring harness , now after much research i purchased a wiring harness that says was compatible with the 2004 sports steering wheel (but also compatible with the older 2003 sports steering wheel) i inspected the connectors black and green and the interfaces are the same, the only diff is the cable colours and also the little white plastic securing clip on the new cable.....on my existing setup the horn cable passes underneath the spring plate, but the new harness also is slightly longer and has a plastic clip that allows the horn cable and harness to be passed through it and on top of the spring plate, not underneath.....do you fellas think i will have an issue fitting airbag onto the new cable if i leave the cable on top?
