N54 radiator drain

Yeah I purchased an OEM radiator , and it didn’t come with a plug , so I ordered one from the dealer. Does anybody know how to install it properly I broke the one off my previous radiator when I took it out to swap a new radiator in. I’m not sure if there’s a special technique

Just be gentle. Might want to hold the outside with a pair of pliers and turn the inside just enough to drain. The thing has plastic tabs on it that will break if you turn too hard. It is standard left and right thread as with any bolt.
