That way if it stops working when you install it you know it can’t be a lug shorting.

Also, if it is the stock barrel socket they can be a little tricky, the lugs don’t typically connect the expected way. There are a couple of threads on it from a ways back.
That internal cavity is smooth.....mine has four recesses for the pots....not wide enough....so the pots hit the wood.....but tape and positioning may have things going well now.
