Wii DVD drive disassembly and reassembly

Can someone please tell me how I can properly disassemble and reassemble a Nintendo Wii DVD disc drive?

I know someone by the name 'Console Zombie' has posted a tutorial on YouTube for the Wii U version.

But is it the same concept or completely different for a Wii? My specific problem is that I took the disc drive apart because I was interested about how it worked, but I couldn't put it back together. Taking it apart seemed too easy compared to putting it back together.

This is the current state of the drive and what parts needs to be reinserted.

Please excuse my bad terms for the parts. I can't remember their proper names.
