    I am assembling my steering column after it came loose and need some help. I am posting images but also a video that will explain the issue better.

    So this is the issue I am having when the column collapsed this all came apart I have tightened the E8 with red loctite and now I do not know how this next area goes together. In the first two images, I have yellow arrows pointing to some tabs and in the last you see the ignition release I have tried fitting this several different ways and cannot figure it out.



    I believe that tab in the first image is supposed to be where the purple arrow is pointing in the third image but not sure it was all apart in there when I disassembled it.


    In the third image the Yellow arrow I have no idea what is supposed to go there if anything.


    In the third image, the white arrow is where the ignition rod that goes to the box under the dash goes as another point of reference.


    The Yellow arrow in the second image is where the key release is the lever in image three on the right as a reference. I think this is to hold the piece in? In fact my first thought was that both the tabs were to hold the piece in image three in and it only hooked to the ignition rod that goes under the dash but then the center section does not seem to be seated back far enough to not have the gap you see in image four, that image was taken when it collapsed and that gap would still be there so I am unsure how this is supposed to go together?
