vanguard trouble

I got a Weatherby Vanguard in .270Win and I recently went on an overhaul mission. I hydrodipped the whole thing in a woodlands camo. Upon putting it back together I have discovered that the bolt release hinge is not locking in place with the spring like it should. The screw has been reinstalled into the bolt lock plate but it still moves loosely, is this just not being tightened down enough or is there supposed to be something else to create the tension?
 
There are only three parts to the bolt release. Are you sure the spring did not fall out before putting the release in place. I would take it apart and start over. Be careful of the amount of torque. I would limit it to 20 in. lbs.

I am not certain of that. I definitely do not have a spring in there now. I didn't even know if there was one in there in the first place
 
Well that is the problem then. There should be a spring. Look in your manual at the diagram of the parts. It will show the spring in the parts list so you know what to order.
