First I recommend using super glue to get the wires to stay in a fixed position in the bottom of the meter mechanism - where they fit and come out at the sides via some grooves. The original tape simply does not hold them any longer. After a few tries you would see that gluing them in is far better. The meter is grounded to the camera by the two screws holding the meter so if the wires do not fit into the grooves the two screws may not hold the meter flat on the camera body. Careful with the pointer not to bend it upon removal of the meter mechanism.
