That's funny, i am just about to prepare the same step... That's why i have all laid out and was able to take a photograph... see the photo.
As i see it, and i am sure somebody will chime in to correct me if necessary, you need the angled piece of metal on the inside, straightening the valve. This is fixed with one off nut, this will be inside the tie. Outside, the valve is 'fixed' to the rim with another nut.
