Gauge problems!

I read online and watched youtube videos about scratching off the get tint on the back of the gauges to get rid of that horrible green color. I pulled the cluster apart and pulled the needles off and got rid of it, but after I put it all back on and got it in the truck, all the gauges were off some really bad. Any ideas? And if I need to replace it, can I get one with a tachometer? My truck is a 96 f150.

I learned the lesson to not pull the gauges awhile back. They never go back on right, especially speedometers. Cant tell you if you can swap from Tach/Non-Tach as I believe that may be a PSOM truck, somebody will chime in.
