Ignition Lock Cylinder... Problem

[HGFireHazard]

I hope you guys can help me, I'm an idiot.

The ears on my stock ignition lock have begun to significantly give way, so I've been searching the forum since last week discovering what I needed to purchase to fix the problem. After reading how-to's and finding out what to purchase I bought my replacement today.

Upon getting it home I pulled it out of the box and began twisting it in order to find the 'run' position, because that's what the how-to's tell you to do. After two parts popped out I read the cardboard covering of the lock that says it's ready to install and to not turn it

Here are a couple pictures, can you guys help me put humpty dumpty back together and work so I don't have to go back to the parts store looking like a fool?

Thanks
