Omega PO problem

I recently purchased an orange PO with a small problem. The problem was the second hand was making contact with the hour hand.
Sooo using tutorials I removed the back and then depressed the small pin to remove the crown. I used a toothpick to gently make sure the hands were sitting straight and flat then teased the second hand up to clear the hour hand.
I reassembled the watch (by replacing the crown whilst depressing the pin) now the crown will not click back in properly, so when I push the crown fully in (without screwing) I can still change the time. Also if i try to screw the crown in the watch stops but starts again if I unscrew the crown.

sorry for the essay but any ideas whats wrong? have I mashed the works??

any help?

assuming you have an Eta movement or a clone, you probably will need to replace the set lever in the proper position so this will require taking the keyless works apart.

Sorry to hear about it, I know it can be frustrating.
