I’m trying to replace the coil spring, and the book says to cover the first hole and the second one not visible. What does that mean?

So this is telling you how to "clock" the spring when installing it. Rotate the spring so the end of the spring does not cover the hole. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.

It might have a recess in the upper cup as well. I would use a flashlight to inspect and go from there.
