Hi, and welcome to TGMForum.

The control cable would normally go in the small hole next to the one it's in now. 

The governor spring is fitted in the right place but isn't the right spring. it should have a loop on one end where it goes on the control, and a hook on the other end going onto the carb.

Also looks like Amazon or similar after market carb. I would check that the throttle rod isn't too tight a fit in the throttle shaft, it looks pretty snug to me.
