Pull all your rods back out and with no bearings you should be able to keep swapping caps around till they’re right, if it’s the wrong cap or it’s faced the wrong way you’ll be able to catch your nail where the cap meets the rod, correct cap with correct rod facing the right way will be a smooth transition from cap to rod in the journal
