Default Need help- Installing rear shade on Ls430

Hello I just got my 2005 Ls430 last month, one hell of a car so far. However I found the button that activates the rear shade, I found the bar moving but the shade/curtain was not connected to it. I've been looking on ways to connect both for nearly an hour. Any steps or anything missing, any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Here is the dilemma

Here is the other side of the bar

Here is the curtain itself.

Look closely at the lower outside edge of the horizontal bar that goes across the top of the shade and see if you see a groove or channel for the shade. It is not immediately apparent to me how it fastens to the bar but it must somehow. The shade does to seem to attach to the entire bar, not just the corners.

I think there's supposed to be a thin pipe/bar that threads through the shade and attaches at the ends. Just vague recollection from past posts on this forum - you should search.

Yeah the groove is there but i cant seem to find a way to either put the shade in or sliding it.
