Honestly, the only way I know is to use the Force--the only time I've done it, it involved meditating over it for hours, aligning things far more minutely than I could have done by hand. But that doesn't mean it can't be done. Let me think...
[How to translate that feeling into technically useful instructions?]
Okay. So basically, you're looking for a few things; cracks, air pockets, and crystal formation. Right? So you'd want to test it for any detectable variant using a few different instruments; like, if you used a spectrometer and a really intensely powerful microscope? Then again, you're probably right--the Admiral probably didn't give it to you in order to blow us up.
Which means the trick'll be in the placement, and you just want to be sure that you're really precise in the component alignment process. We're not talking landspeeder repair, here. You want as much precision as you can get.
[Then again, Luke's pretty sure that Hux's engineering experience required some measure of... precision.]
Do you mind sitting in with us when we go to turn it on for the first time? I'm certain I can find everything physically there, but it's the metaphysical part of it that has me lost.

May I, ah, ask why?

Yeah, let me know. I'd rather be there than not, whatever reason he's got.
