Default confused about steering wheel airbag coil centering (Cavalier)

('99 Cavalier) I had a broken piece on my turn signal cam, so I
disassembled the steering column to replace that. In reassembling, the
Chevy book talks about "centering" the airbag coil. I find the
directions confusing.

The book says to ...

2. rotate the coil hub CW until the coil ribbon stops.
3. Then rotate the coil hub CCW until the centering window appears
yellow and both arrows line up.

The CW part went OK, I think. (I had to go 4 turns of the hub.) But,
the CCW part leaves me baffled. The arrows are there, but where's the
yellow? Are they saying that there should be something yellow behind
the window? All I see is air. What's supposed to be there? Or, am I
looking at the wrong thing?

Any info on this would be appreciated.

Thanks,
George
