Assembly looks good in my eyes, but the screw is too far screwed in.
Remember that that you have to "unscrew" it to increase the tension - screw counter clockwise until the screw-head touches the inner wall of the housing and then a bit farther.
You'll clearly see how it works, if you do so.
BTW: which instructions are you referring to?
The pictures and instructions from fbrc8 are very accurate IMHO.

That is, in fact, the instructions I was referring to, but you do seem to have hit on the problem; I was screwing it in the wrong direction and so it was tightening all the way but not getting tense-- it seems to be reassembled now; thank you!

Please show a photo of before you close it.
There should be quite a bit of tension on the spring before you put the 2 halves together.
The screw head should be *below* the wall. In other words when fully assembled, the hex driver needs to pass through a plastic hole in the feeder before it's possible to touch the screw head.
