I'm no artist so any diagram I draw would just confuse you further
However what you do is put your drysuit on as normal[1] and then put a length of bungee under the wrist seal. This is just to allow the gas in your suit to migrate in and out of the gloves to equalise them and stop them compressing completely onto your hands on descent or ballooning up on ascent. Using bungee means that if you hole a glove the water will only wick into your drysuit and not just flood in.
You then put the dryglove on and adjust the latex seal on the dryglove so that it overlaps the wrist seal and both seals are flat. If you don't have them flat then they'll leak. This step is actually not too hard to do, but is quite tricky to describe!!
[1] an alternative if you're using a thin liner glove is to put those on first, then your drysuit. The liner glove then provides the path for the gas to migrate under the wrist seal as well as ensuring that any leaks will only wick into your suit.
