I disassembled this Mamiya / Sekor Auto SX 1.4 55mm lens to clean and relube.

Now I'm having trouble putting these elements back together without the focus ring being disconnected and useless.

The order I'm going in is: screw ring (1) into ring (2), screw ring (2) into lens face (3), then slide focusing ring (4) over lens face (3). When I do this, focusing ring (4) is loose and doesn't turn anything.

There are 3 screws with washers sitting in the middle of ring (2), and they don't seem to properly fit into the holes in ring (2) from which they came. I believe this has something to do with it, but just looking at the screw placement, it doesn't seem like the screws would affect anything.

Any tips or ideas? Anyone done this before? Anyone have this SX lens that could take a look at it?

Any helps is GREATLY APPRECIATED.

(and yes, I know I violated the rule of taking pictures as you disassemble so that you aren't confused when it comes to reassembly...silly me.)
