I will try and put the rings back in, all the friction plates except one have V notches in them , where did you put the one that doesn't have the notch?
Well if I remember right I had it all the way on the front away from the bike just line them all up and other than that I didn't pay attention to it line it up put the one on the end put in your rings slap that puppy on there and see if it works better if not it might need adjusted on the lower adjuster for the clutch cable.
