Pancolar 50/1.8 - aperture not working

Hi. Aperture of my Pancolar stopped working. It's just not clicking anymore and I am unable to set it. Aperture ring is moving loosely. The only way to set it is to use A/M switch and set it half-way or other position. I disassembled the lens by removing 3 screws and a part on a photo was not attached anyhow:

Does anyone have a clue if the spring is long enough as it seems to me like it is not pressing the teeth against which it is clicking firmly enough. Maybe I have lost some tiny part of the lens while disassembling and just did not notice it.

This is how should it look like - the part at 10 o'clock on the right hand ring.

Thanks in advance,
