Mounting the two motors is not an easy job. There need to be taken care of the small gaps between the moving star and the outer magnets. While putting the star into the magnet disc the magnets pull the star to the wall ... not good.
The base chassis and the disc cannot be mounted flat to each other, there is some space that need to be filled.
Take the broken pcb parts and cut them so that they fit into the space.
To prevent the star form touching the magnets, cut some pieces of paper and wrap them around the star. Try to fill the gap completely on all sites. Be exact here!
Now glue all these things together using the epoxy glue.
Also here you need to very exact! Try to exactly the middle. The star need to turn as exactly in the center as possible.
