Preparing to put the top plate on

First you need to put a washer, bearing, washer on that i circled in GREEN on the RIGHT side of this picture

ignore the washer, bearing, washer that i circled in RED on the left side of the picture, you already put those on earlier in this tutorial

before you put the top plate on, make sure the top washer sits flush 
(see below picture)

----------------------------------------

once confirmed its flush, put the top plate on with 2 screws
(use anti-seize)

there should be NO gap between the top plate and the vice
(see below pic)
