This is the tricky part.
You'll have to solder the Relay in a way that it bridges the remaining two contacts.
We put some solder on the contacts prior to mounting.
You'll have to bend and adjust the Pins of the relay in a very special way to fit in.
Please take care otherwise the pins will break.
See photos.

Solder the relay to the contacts.
Take care, they need to survive the full power plugged into the power strip.
