New GearVR Controller - Setup Help?

Hey guys, 

As above - I'm looking to get the GearVR controller setup in my Unity project. 

I've got the controller in-scene and functioning - I've set up the rotation to be mirrored by the controller model using 
        transform.rotation = OVRInput.GetLocalControllerRotation(OVRInput.Controller.RTrackedRemote);
One thing I am struggling with is the "arm model" referred to in the below grab from https://developer3.oculus.com/documentation/game-engines/latest/concepts/unity-ovrinput/ :

"The SDK also provides a simple arm model that can be optionally used to approximate hand position based on the Controller's orientation."

Anyone able to give me a hand here?

    All this basically means is that if you're using Oculus Utilities, the position of the appropriate hand anchor transform is going to be set automatically to the value provided by some black-box logic inside of OVRPlugin that uses the rotation of the controller to approximate where the hand would be.
