Steering column help

Well I did something dumb and took apart my steering column without taking photos. Seemed easy enough but it never is lol.
Ive got it all solved except this spring and it’s retainer (photo attached)
I’ve noticed the collar doesn’t seem to fit down the shaft which make it even more confusing.

help would be really appreciated as I’ve got everything else solved but this will cause some issues.
thanks
