The numbers are the depth of cut on the key.
You should have at least 2 with the same number.
If you could list the numbers you have and a picture of the key, it would help to tell what order to put them back in, or put them in one at a time and try to operate the lock with the key, the first lever you put in should have the same number on it as third lever (hence two levers with the same number)
Hope that helps and don't confuse you
