Circuit Gem buttons problem!

I am just an amateur in these raspberry pi programming. Yesterday I finished my own VMU gaming machine, but I was disappointed with those buttons. I would like to change those rubber buttons to pcb tactile switches.

For example, like that

Now I ask how to make these work in Circuit gem. I saw on your GPIO map ... there is BTN MODE - X, BTN SLEEP ZA, BTN A - ZF and U - BTN B. For example, if I put Tactile Switches to Mode, put one of the wire in that BTN MODE - X , but where I put the other wire.

Could you tell me this with the help of pictures ... make it easier to understand more.

I'm sorry for the bad English ... I hope you understand what I mean.

The other side of the button needs to go to GND, which is any GND point on the board :)
