This method of mountign seems to be consistent with how it's done on the CIMple box from AM.

Also from lookign at assembly images, it looks like the encoder output shaft is actually the back end of the output shaft of the gearbox itself. So that should help you locate it, and it also means that your encoder to gearbox output ratio is 1:1.
Got it! Thanks a lot!
