Delonghi Dedica mod gone wrong, need advice

Hello,

I modded my delonghi Dedica long time ago to have the other steam wand and it's been working great until now.

Yesterday I wanted to check if nothing is leaking so I opened it again but this time I accidentally opened 2 wrong screws which were the screws holding the end of the 2 thin hoses going to the espresso head.

It popped out and there was a cone shaped spring with a plastic ball on top in the middle of it. There is also an O-ring there.

Since it popped out, I didn't manage to see the orientation the spring was inside.

I didn't take a picture of it but I will try to open it tomorrow again to take picture but maybe some of you know what I'm talking about until I do so. Here's an illustration of that: https://imgur.com/a/iH7WjVt

I'm not sure I inserted the spring back in the right direction (although it seem the most logical way it goes inside), or if something else is causing the issue because now the machine has a problem:

When I put the portafilter and press the espresso button, the handle starts unscrewing itself as if there's too much pressure that pushes it out.

Or, the problem is because I didn't screw something else tight enough and it's not holding the portafilter strong enough? There were a few long screws, few short and 1 a bit longer than all the others

When I left it unattended, the portafilter blew away with force (and broke the glass)

Maybe I didn't put the screws in the correct place? (Some screws are longer and some are shorter)

Is there any manual for that? Last time I did it I took pictures of the screws location but this time I didn't and I don't have it anymore

Thanks
