Add Weapon Flashlight Mod to Modified Nailgun?

How can I add the weapon light mod to a modified nailgun?

This is a nailgun modified to repair/harvest blocks very quickly, and I'd like to add a flashlight to it for nighttime harvesting.

It already accepts weapon/tool mods, but the light mod doesn't actually seem to do anything...

You need to add your nailgun to this file and find the optimal coordinates for flashlight placementimage.png

 
Quick question from a noob to modding...

When testing placement, do I need to completely exit the game and restart it any time I change the file, or do I just exit to main menu and reload the save?

So far I'm not getting anywhere.

Here's what I've tried so far:

<item_property_overrides name="PhDNailgun">
<property name="SideOffset" value=".037,-.1,.16"/>
<property name="SideScale" value="1,1,1"/>
<property name="SideRotation" value="0,0,20"/>
</item_property_overrides>


Copied the existing code from the rocket launcher and been trying to modify the offset values, but so far I'm getting no light showing on the nailgun at all.

 
With my limited understanding, I'm going to guess it's that the mesh file for the nailgun(this mod uses the default nailgun mesh) doesn't have some value to add a light to it.

I was able to figure out how to change the mod's mesh to the handgun, and then the light worked fine(once I corrected the values for the offset, of course).
