I've consulted many sources out there and still can't figure this out.

Basically after I download the Development Push SSL Certificate from the iOS Provisioning Portal > App IDS (with Enable for Apple Push Notification service selected) and I double click the certificate (filename aps_development.cer) to open it, the Keychain opens. I then select "login" and "Certificates" on the left panels. On the right panel I see "Apple Development IOS Push Services:..." and all instructions I've consulted so far have told me to "expand" this option by clicking the arrow next to the name to reveal the private key, but there is no expand option for this certificate. Can anyone help me find this private key? Did I download the wrong certificate?
Thanks
From the Admin console Home page, go to Devices. iOS settings. Click Apple certificates. The current certificate details are displayed: the unique identifier (UID), the Apple ID, and expiration date.
On Windows servers, the OS manages your certificate files for you in a hidden folder, but you can retrieve the private key by exporting a “. pfx” file that contains the certificate(s) and private key. Open Microsoft Management Console (MMC). In the Console Root expand Certificates (Local Computer).
Click Apple Push Certificates portal. In the new tab, sign in to the Apple portal with the Apple ID and password you used when you created the certificate. Next to the certificate you want to renew, click Renew and accept the terms of use.
I noticed that the expand icon is actually visible when clicking on 'My Certificates' in the left menu (Keychain).
