-      repositories {
-        ...
-        mavenCentral()
-      }

-        classpath "com.newrelic.agent.android:agent-gradle-plugin:7.5.0"
-      }
-    }
-  ```
-
-3. Update `app/build.gradle`:

+
+If you are using Plugins DSL to Apply the NewRelic Gradle Plugin, make the following changes:
+
+In android/settings.gradle:
+   ```groovy
+   plugins {
+      id "com.android.application" version "7.4.2" apply false
+      id "org.jetbrains.kotlin.android" version "1.7.10" apply false
+      id "com.newrelic.agent.android" version "7.5.1" apply false // <-- include this
+   }
+   ```
+
+In android/app/build.gradle:
+   ```groovy
+   plugins {
+      id "com.android.application"
+      id "kotlin-android"
+      id "com.newrelic.agent.android"  //<-- include this
+   }
+   ```
+
+Or, if you are using the traditional way to apply the plugin:
+   ```groovy
+   buildscript {
+     ...
+     repositories {
+       ...
+       mavenCentral()
+     }
+     dependencies {
+       ...
+       classpath "com.newrelic.agent.android:agent-gradle-plugin:7.5.1"
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+
+Apply the NewRelic plugin to the top of the android/app/build.gradle file:
+   ```groovy
+   apply plugin: "com.android.application"
+   apply plugin: 'newrelic' // <-- include this
+   ```
+3. Make sure your app requests INTERNET and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permissions by adding these lines to your `AndroidManifest.xml`
   ```
     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
