Get rid of the cassette.
I can't tell what you are picturing in image 1.
Disassemble the left hand side completely and remove axle.
Screw the cone (image 2 with seal combo) onto the 'bare' axle, followed by the lock nut.
Tighten cone and locknut together (should not have taken off) so that 4mm of axle shows.
Insert new bearings and grease into left hand side cup.
Insert axle into freehub (image 4) and through.
Screw on LH cone (finger tight , see above), spacer(s) and finally locknut, and lock.
Should be 4mm of axle still showing (if not back to line 5 and equalise).
And be a tad loose (again see my post above): QR will take up slack.
Only then fit cassette.
