yep...thats the result of the center sections pushing back into the open reed spacer area, allowing everything to come loose
snapping that center reed petal piece into the outer cage is what holds the outer petals in place, the inners are held in by those wedge shaped pieces, thats why they stayed put.
reassemble, put reed spacer in front of reeds against the engine, and intake right against the back of the vf's and you'll be dandy I:I
ps...use a very thin layer of ultra copper rtv or yama-bond on all sides of the gaskets, allow to cure overnight and leakdown test it
