The standard strap should have a large 'pin' in it that should be free to rotate. The ends are cranked & register in the two holes in the battery tray. There is no guarantee that it will stay located in the tray whilst the faff of fitting the battery & strap over it, so I nowadays put a small piece of tight fitting fuel pipe on each end of the pin to keep it in place.

I hope you can understand my explanation

]The trunnion on the end of the battery strap slots into the 2 holes on either side of the battery tray at the rear.The strap can slip out until fastened at the front when the battery is fitted.
