For some reason my photos have stopped uploading. Yes the thread has two flat parts on it

Okay, and if I have all that then I should be okay? I am assuming top left is what it all looks like together?. I do not have the little round piece that comes after the olive in your picture and it was not in the box that the guy sold me. The shower actually worked pretty well but there was...

The bar mixer screws straight on to the face plate you can see in the picture. I am trying to send you a new picture with the bar attached to the plate but it doesn't seem to want to upload
