unfortunately the spring holding the needles in place are terribly easy to break. However, I recall on a 4th gen I worked on the needle reset itself on the stopper after a few days of driving.

Did you calibrate the needles before you took them apart?

if you calibrate the needles before you disasseble, it gives you a guarunteed spot to point the needles to when you are done putting them back together, if you did not do that, you may have permanently damaged them.

however if all the neeldes still move, it may possibly reset after a few days driving, unfortunately in my case it didnt and I was forced to buy a new cluster

best of luck man
