rd400f clutch assembling

[waktaylor]

its been a year since I took this apart. The clutch basket doesn't go in far enough to make the splines flush. See image. Is this right? One thrust washer behind the bushing on behind the basket

Second, any tips on balancing the plate tabs?

That doesn't matter, (not supposed to actually), the clutch hub will pull tight against the spacer to set the end play.
If you torque it using the EBC tool to 65ft lbs does it spin fine? If you do a quick mock up with no oil you just can barely feel end play, once you oil everything for final assembly you can't feel any play, is correct and spins freely, your good to go.
Not like the drive sprocket that the splines poke out some.
