Steering wheel help.

I'm having a problem installing the steering wheel. I know it sounds goofy to have a problem with something so simple. I recently replaced the automatic shift collar ( housing 19-46-5). When I reassembled the column and installed the wheel I noticed a 1/4" gap between the dial housing (19-14-21) and the base of the wheel. I have ensured that the splines in the wheel and on the shaft are good and I have chased the threads of the column with a die. When looking at the steering shaft (19-15-4) I see two snap ring lands and have the snap ring installed in the land closest to the bearing, on top to keep shaft from dropping, farthest from the wheel down the shaft.. Is this snap ring in the wrong location? Looking at the parts illustration page I see two snap rings on the column. It looks like one snap ring is below the bearing and a second is above the bearing. The gap I'm seeing is roughly the same as the distance between snap rings. It only had one snap ring to begin with and now I'm wondering if I've pulled the shaft up to far.

Please disregard!!
I read my own post. Duh!!!
The loose nut between the steering wheel and the seat has been resolved.
