You can probably just reinsert them. Note the little locking tabs and that 
those tabs must face a certain direction to lock in the connector body. In this 
sense the positioning matters. Other than that, on a 69 TPS it doesn't matter 
which terminal goes in which hole.

The choices are fully closed and not fully closed. I'll have to check tonight 
to see which way it works.
