Default 1992 A/C Clutch Question

On my 92 the ac was working when I got her back in 2021. Soon afterwards the ac stopped working and I found the clutch laying on my frame rail. Now all these years later I’m putting it back together. There’s a cap bolt and a tiny washer. Does the washer go between the cap bolt and the clutch or between the clutch and the compressor? The washer is smaller than the diameter of the cap on the bolt so it doesn’t make sense. Also with it installed I can’t spin the clutch which I think they usually do. I’m using thread lock on that bolt so want to make sire it’s right.
