You have the conical plastic piece on the bottom.  It needs to go between the shaft spacer and the base, with the narrow end up.  Without this part in the correct position and orientation, the stick does not work correctly.

+1 for Randy

The conical piece goes inside the joystick pointed end first.  The piece with the 2 cones is the last plastic piece on the shaft before the E clip and should be fat end down for 8 way and slimmer end down for 4 way.

Wow im an idiot.  Now I am worried.  The small cone needs to be moved to be right under the circle spacer.... which means I need to take THE ENTIRE control panel apart. 

Is the control panel even going to go back together.  I feel like I will be adding a spacer (the small cone) between the plexi and the MDF.

Ethier way I appreicate it.

This shouldn't be too bad to do.  Take the e-clip off the shaft, pull the shaft, assemble the parts correctly, put it back into the base and re-attach the e-clip.  Be aware that the sticks will be higher than before.  I'm guessing you probably don't have the short spacer anymore, as these weren't installed recently.  You'll either need to deal with the higher stick, or, assuming you are using the long one currently, find the short spacer.

Maybe I just dont get it.  The small cone needs to go above the unit, below the circle spacer.  The base to the unit is screwed in between the plexi and the wood... so i gotta take off the molding, seperate everything then reassemble :)
BobA:
No the dotted position lines are split.  The small cone goes in from the bottom and the pipe with the flange (short or long) goes in from the top.   You only have to work with the bottom of your joystick to correct it.\
