I assembled a column last night and will modify step 4 and 5...

While you are installing the shift bowl to shift tube, as the tube begins to go through the bowl you need to install the wavy washer and nut plate then continue driving the shift tube through the bowl until fully seated.

If you seat the shift tube in the bowl without installing the wavy washer and nut plate there is not enough clearance to install the nut plate so you have to install those pieces just as the shift tube begins to exit the bowl on the steering wheel side, then fully seat the bowl to the shift tube.
