HeyItRuns,
your black spacer placement is similar to the black plastic spacer I installed in my 1999 KDX 220 forks. Also, there is a metal OEM spacer in my forks. My photos show before & after I put the black spacer on the rod. You can see where a spring is on mine.

Wrap some plumber tape on the threads before you put the rod back through the seal / bushing.
