Shoutout to the spring that launched itself into my ceiling fan

I was reassembling a 1911 mainspring housing last night and the cap slipped, sending the spring flying into the spinning fan blade with a loud 'ping'. Anyone have a good method for keeping that cap in place during assembly?

Lost a spring in the couch once... never found it.

I read somewhere, @barbara_sanchez88, that lost couch springs often slip into the lining.
