annoying centre flush system - PLEASE HELP

[crumpler]

I've installed a new toilet this afternoon which has a centre flush system. the problem I have is that i can't seem to be able to get the buTton which is screwed into the cistern lid to fit on the plunger to activate the flush.

It has a thread on it which it implies they need screwing together but i obviously can't screw it together because the button is screwed to the cistern lid from the inside.

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY BRIGHT IDEAS??

Typically there's a big plastic screw under the push button(s) which is fitted after the cup shaped chrome bit is dropped through the cistern lid.
The button(s) go in last.

Thanks Chris - what you have said makes sense but i can only unclip the buttons from the underneath so if i take them out screw in the cup and then click the buttons back in there will no way of getting the cistern lid back off at a later time - would you be add anything please

Thats how it's done and then you have to fiddle with the button(s) if you ever need to access the cistern.....

If you push one button down you usually see a groove on the revealed face of the other, which you can put a fingernail/screwdriver into to lift the button out.
