Once you get the 3-4 shift fork in it helps to put a few bolts in to hold the cover. Patience...

If you plan on shifting the trans hard with the bronze shift forks you will be driving home in (my guess is) third gear. Let me guess...you put the shift levers/tabs on the trans upside down and it wouldn't shift so you took it apart?
