Default Temp and fuel gauge stopped working

So my 975spd cluster I took it apart last night, and put it back together, and this morning i noticed my temp and fuel gauge are not working anymore. Does anybody have any suggestions on what I might have done? and how i could fix this ?

The metal blue and silver screws i took them all out last night and put them back in, but the silver ones seem to have 2 different lengths, and it doesn't even out on the left and right sides. Do those screws serve much purpose and have something to do with why thye aren't working? because I don't remember which silver length screws go where...

On my 1995, all those screws are all the same length. I believe they ground the needle to read appropriate signal to it. If one of them are loose, try to tighten or snug up a little. If this doesn't work you might have to replace the motors separately. I have notice in the past, that the plastic becomes wore out and the screws will not stay secured in them.

I didn't know the motors could break that easily with me just removing the screws... so if they are not grounded properly, the guages will not work like mine? I have a picture of where I remembered the lengths and colors of the screws

The blue circles are blue screws that are short
The purple circles are blue screws that are long
The orange circles I remembered were long silver screws..
The red circles I thought they were all short but apparently there are a combination of long and short silver screws.. i'm not sure which sides are which i didn't realize they were different sizes...

And it just so happens that my temp and fuel gauges are located in the red areas..

Okay.. I fixed it. I just rearranged the red circles to where the screws fit in long or short areas.
