Stupid questions: 2nd gen fuse box install MAIN

Hate to be the guy asking a stupid question...
but here's a stupid question!

I'm putting in the 2nd gen fuse box I have, and before I crimp on the new connectors to my HEAD, MAIN, RETRACTOR wires I need to know. Where does the MAIN connect to? The one side is obviously for the power from the battery, because I can see the copper bar connecting across all the fuses. But on the other side, where all the others have spade connectors, the MAIN centre fuse has only the hole inside the black plastic flap.

So I need to put on a ring connector to my old MAIN wire and screw it on there, inside the flap?

The main connects to the 80amp fuse in the middle. It's the one that has the little door on the side.

Thanks, got it in today.

The reason I was confused - I read someone saying they ran a 10ga wire from the alt to one side of the Main fuse and then connected the other side to the pos battery terminal.
First that just doesn't make sense in my head, am I missing something?
Second - where would you plug in your main then??
