Calcutta 400B question

Recently picked up a used Calcutta 400B (thanks Christian!). Anywway, I stripped it down to clean and get familiar with the innards. When reassembling, something "may" have gone wrong. The reel functions perfectly, but it looks a little off. I can't remember if it was this way before I touched it. As you can see in the pictures, the washer under the handle (friction washer #799 from schematics) does not touch the star drag when the drag is cranked down. Like I said, I can not remember if it was this way before I took it apart. I reassembled the reel several times, reviewed the schematics chart, and looked for some pictures online, but was unable to figure out if something was wrong. So, could someone check their reel and see if it is supposed to be this way? Again, this is the newer 400B. Thanks!
