Default Horn is on constantly

77 Coupe. Horn wouldn't work, took apart and the spring was not seeded right. Fixed that, put all back together, only two spacers (saw a video that had 4) and without putting the horn cap on the horn is constantly on. Any thoughts why?

on mine it was caused by a broken plastic spacer of sorts in the column. I would google and look for a diagram of the steering column for your year car and go from there.
