The negative is not too low. The square cap over the positive terminal doesn’t quite snap down but is close enough so that the battery cover fits.

What kind of battery does a Saab 2.2 use?
Found the Bosch battery list for Saab and they recommend the 77ah/760cca battery for the 2.2 TiD. Mine lasted over 8 years (2.3lpt petrol though) and I only replaced it during a very cold spell just before Christmas a few years ago when it didn’t crank quite as well as it used to.
Where is the battery on a Saab remote?
In order to get access to the battery you will need to remove the plastic cover located at the back of the remote key. If you place the key with the backside of it facing upwards and look at the side of it you can see a small hole. This hole is used to open the plastic cover and the easiest way to do this is with a corkscrew.
