Help. Horn Button install on '38 Packard 8

I need guidance to install the horn button on my '38 Packard Eight. I believe I have all the parts needed, but I don't want to damage the ears on the Bakelite emblem carrier. Does it push down and turn, or do I just push hard? It looks like it should connect with the three triangular wireforms inside the hub. Thanks.

I THINK that yoiu push down and turn to the right. Do not put any pressure on the bakelite ears.

Thanks Fred! That did the trick. I used a (3.25" diameter) rubber suction cup that body repair people use to pull dents to help turn the horn button. The suction cup helped me get a grip on the button when I wanted to turn it.
