6228 - Dolphin - Willy Tschager - 2019-02-14

I'm trying to fix:

but I have no idea how the dolphin is connected (apparently not with studs):

   

In addition there are apparently two versions:

Unfortunately the original file is no longer available. Suggestions?

Looks like the dolphin (second version) connects to a Technic axle, according to https://rebrickable.com/search/?q=6228&show_printed=on&include_accessory=1&search_type=all#parts while the first version missed the axle holder (rebrickable photo is clear enough).
Seems to be able to fit a 1x2 brick:
   
And in LDD, the dolphin does connect to a 1x2 brick, but not to an axle...
Attached the LDD mesh.
