If everything is on good order, it is just plug and play. Disconnect the battery negative terminal first. How did you reset the module without everything installed?

The airbag is designed with safety in mind and is not going to explode while being installed. It is automatically self-disabled when a fault is detected. If the airbag light stays on after installation, it would mean something is wrong and you would need a scan tool to retrieve the trouble code.
