Need some help

[CartMan007]

At a loss for solutions so seeking some advice. I have a 40 series TC. After a ton of videos and reviewed posts, learned about correct orientation. For the driven, correct orientation is supposed to be spring inboard and drive clutch “normal”. If the spring side is outboard, the drive clutch should be flipped (and spring reversed to open counter to engine rotation). I’m good on the spring and opening but I can’t get the alignment right. Either of the correct orientations leave me without thread (see pictures). Do I just go with the last pic which isn’t the correct orientation but will “work” I’ll just not have the optimal performance?

Number 3 IS THE CORRECT WAY.

Line up the sheaves closest to the engine. Use a washer or 2 if need be.
