Why would a loader valve be stuck curl up and boom up?

I have play in my joystick. Since the lock nuts have come loose in the past, I locked the loader up with a lock on a boom cylinder, popped the barrels off, and removed the joystick. A couple of days later I decided my triangle cable thingy in the joystick itself has a bit of wear in the pin that is fixed instead of the two cable pins, greased up and reassembled. But upon reassembly, I noted my joystick was not sitting up and down correctly. Testing, the joy stick centers on the valve itself, but only operates boom up and curl up, no boom down or curl down.

Ideas?

Update, I popped the joystick off again and can manually boom down and curl down.

So I'm wondering why my joystick isn't centering since the valve body itself seems to work.

Update: it is getting dark, but I think I figured it out: To aid the installation of the cables and barrels and their retainers I had the joystick flipping loose. I gave it a twist clockwise to align it with its mounts, but apparently, it needs to be twisted counter-clockwise and then the joystick looks like it sits right. Too dark to fiddle now and I need to pressure wash the thing off so I can see where a big hydraulic leak is coming from using hydraulic dye and a black light.

I must have gotten lucky before.

Further follow-up. As it turns out, I didn't thread the barrels down far enough over the spool valves.

also as a procedural thing when working on frame, using a zip tie with a long tail on the cable housing to hold all the junk (the barrel, the barrel's retainer, the washer as well as the final lock nut) up out of the way will save much frustration and hassle.
