I'm having a hard time lining up getting rachets back on the swift
shift bracket, but would be near the same as putting back on down tube
brackets/braze ons. Nothing on google I can find, but I can see that 2
internal parts and the silver external washer with the same rectangle
shape need be lined up. Its just hard holding lined up while torqueing
down, and figuring out if a specific torque is required. Some times I
get it right, but it doesn't hold like it was never compressed enough
properly before torquing. Any help or reference links would be greatly
appreciated.
Here are the shifters disassembled. The right shifter looked like it
had an additional internal side paper thin ring, and it was tighter as
well (now its the only one that feels good with only 2 paper thin
washers).

Maybe I need to apply compression when lined up until torqued, but
would like to know how so I don't bend one of those paper thin washers.
Maybe a special tool with a hole to apply pressure while torquing
through the tools hole is needed. This stuff can drive someone crazy if
they are not careful. I should have known it wouldn't just magically
start clicking by putting a screw in the hole. But my right one seems
fine (?), so maybe its just accuracy required along with a little trial
and error luck. And maybe I just need to bring to my guru wrench at
LBS.
Starting to look good though:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
