Limp home with broken fan clutch on M104 G320

I have read that the fan clutch fingers on an M104 G320 are bendable and can therefore permanently lock the fan clutch, making the engine fan stay on even if the fan clutch is broken. Can someone illustrate how to do that from this picture?

The metal plate you have to bend is not on this picture. So - no.

Thanks for the help! I understand now, and I found the follower with the metal tabs behind my fan clutch.
