Default Ignition removal/installation problems

I was investigating adjusting my bar's. I didn't get far enough and put the ignition switch back in. The switch works but there is a clicking sound now when I switch it to the locked position. Any ideas?

Stupid question, but is your front end turned full left? You will get a click or "tink" when going to the locked position if your not fully left.

Yes it does it when they are turned full left in the lock position it is like a metal on metal tink. It did not do it before I took the ignition off.
