Default Power wire to battery terminal

I'm completely stumped here. How do I attach the battery clamp to the positive battery post while retaining the connection of the positive wire? There's absolutely no room on it. I don't know how to do this. Any close-up pics of how all of you with systems did this?

My clamp only has two 4awg inputs, one is for my power wire.

Pictures needed if necessary. Thanks for any responses.

I'll probably end up doing that. Do you think you're getting a sufficient connection with a ring terminal?

make sure its right on it. make sure its not touching the negative lol. and as long as its crimped on to the wire well enough, it should be ok.

Thanks for the post, I ended up doing this. The terminal is pretty thick, so I crimped it with a heavy-duty clamp. That thing is going nowhere. I plan on upgrading to 0awg when I add my Nine.2x, so i'm going to try to find a better connection by then. Probably a Yellow Top battery and a the Topper for it.
