Default Help with 2001 Fat Boy Vent instal.

Hey all I need some help...I am trying to help a friend out that is 700 miles away. Need to get a new crankcase vent assembly on a 2001 Fatboy. I need to know the correct placement of the washers. The instructions cover the pattern for the washers to the vent tube but it does not address the carb bracket. Im thinking it should go Washer on bolt, bolt through carb bracket, stepped washer then sealing washer, bolt through ven tube, sealing washer stepped washer, then bolt into head. Any help is appreciated. Pics os assembly and carb bracket attached. Old breather system was installed incorrectly and has missing washers.
