My switch was a little bitt to big so i had to bend the two mounting plates.

Solder the ground wire to the 5v step-up module and solder the switch to the positive wire, take an red wire that you cut off from the battery holder and solder it to the other pin on the switch and solder the other and of the wire to the positive connection on the 5v step-up module. When you are done whit the soldering remember to test it.

Gluing

Glue the module to the battery holder whit hot glue or superglue, I used superglue first but the module fell off the battery holder when i moved it later so I used hot glue instead. NOTE: never ever glue an switch whit superglue! The glue always finds an way to get inside the switch :P
