If you still have a 90-degree bend in plastic attached at the handgrip, that needs to be removed and replaced with new parts that allow the new cable--with a 90-degree bend inside a metal tube--to be fitted.

Yes - I discovered this as well. In the end I went with an old stye cable which was in stock at my dealer because:
a) it was there instead of 3 days away
b) it was significantly lower cost solution
c) my cable frayed in the bowden box not at the hand grip so the 90 degree bend isn't worrying me particularly.
I should be good for another 40,000 kilometres with this fix.
