There was a rubber o-ring that fell out of mine but I can't tell where it goes. Anyone know?

I took mine apart and put it back together, but now the only thing is it doesn’t wind the string automatically. The string will unwind and lock just fine, but it no longer pulls it back in, so the leash is stuck long unless I pull the thing apart and wind it back up manually
