Turns out the sleeves are ok, and I tightened up both front bolts, started reassembling everything, and tightened the rear(not super tight) to find a spacer missing that sits between the engine and compressor. It had fallen in many of the hidden crevices.
I’m now wondering if I should pull it all out again or just leave it on without it.

I've never done this type of repair but experience tells me it's better to play safe and pull it now rather than later after the system has been recharged, at which point you will have to redo more than necessary. Just reassemble as designed. Failure to do that could be "what made the rocket launch" fail.
