Brake Booster Assembly Question

I am using a rebuild kit to refurbish my Girling MK2A brake booster. Outside the main piston there is a spacer, a rubber seal, and then another triangular sort of spacer. They just seem to push in. When I test work the plunger in and out the drag on the shaft just pulls out the rubber seal and the triangular spacer and they end up hanging on the shaft. How do you get these things to stay in place?

The triangle nylon spacer also centers the main vacuum can. The vacuum can is held down by a hefty triangle bracket & three 5/16" bolts w/copper crush washers. That triangle bracket is what also caps the hole and keeps all the little kids trapped inside.

I should have been test plunging when I had it put together more. You are correct, the inside triangle bracket holds the little pieces in.
