I never use the spring things. They are always a hassle IMO and I have no idea what they are supposed to do

It's upside down.  They are there to keep the pads from making noise and moving around.

Cool deal!!! Glad it got figured out!

Are they really needed?
I think I might have the one on my rear brake but that's it, my front brakes don't have them cause I couldn't find any and the bike didn't have them when I got it

First lesson on this website... Don't listen to chuckie. Unless it has to do with rare 3 wheelers.
