The the retaining bolt and washer are installed the spring is left a some movement. The bolt is turned tight then back off to the first flat before the tab is bent up. In this case that bolt that goes all the way thru may have been way to tight. At this point I think that you would need a replacement armature as the hole is now over sized. Is the key in place?
