When working under the playfield with it in raised position, place a sheet or towel under it, covering the bottom board.
When servicing a machine, look at all components you intend to work on and make a detailed parts list so you don't get caught short handed (and wind up sending in 3 orders back to back, paying shipping, waiting). I just went through this due to impatience.
Another good tip , a old tech showed me this ,
Use a torch of flashlight from behind the switches and shine the light through from the back ,
that way you can see the gap between the contacts with the light shining through .
I hope you can understand all that .
