Place key in lock with plates absent , rotate to 12oclock position. Add plates checking they just touch the key slots while the centre of the plate should align centrally.You should then have them in the correct order and can reassemble .

Assuming the key can be put in from either side then the order is either 23132 or 32123

Numbers are 2,3,4.
So either 23432 or 32423?

I must learn to read AND comprehend, thanks for the correction
