No copper grease between the disc and the support?

Hello, how do you mount the plates with the staples? Do you have to remove the staples at some point? Tell me. In my box, I have 2 plates with staples and two without. How does it work? Do you have a video?

Good morning.

When reassembling the yoke, remember to put a little thread lock on the screws.
