Help stop the "clicking"...

I replaced my turn signal switch, and now I am getting a click when I turn the steering whell to the left, and you can see the turn signal lever move a bit. On the backside of the steering wheel, there is a metal ring (see picture) with a tab that I assume is supposed to cancel the signal as you make the turn. I am pretty sure that this is piece is what is making contact with the signal switch, but not sure why. Did I lose some sort of spacer or something? Please enlighten me.
