I recently opened up my Me Super to fix a stuck mirror. I got the mirror to drop and oiled the latches and other parts. It worked fine for a few frames but now the shutter won't cock until I wind the film advance twice. It's not skipping frames and it seems to be taking photos properly but just annoying and strange to have to pull it twice to get the shutter to work. Maybe I messed up somewhere during re-assembly? Has this ever happened to any of you? Would prefer to not go inside the camera again. My eyes aren't great so it was tough to work with the teeny tiny screws.

Apologies in advance if I am not using the correct terminology. I recently bought my very first 35mm film camera off eBay and running into a few fllm advance, stuck mirror, and re-assembly issues. I watched "Fix Old Cameras: Pentax ME-Super Winding Issues" on YouTube to open up my Me Super. I was able to get the mirror to drop but I am having issues with winding the film advance now. There is a winder catch that is in the way. See photo below. The photo shows the armature removed. Placing it back doesn't seem to clear the winder catcher out of the way. Any help is appreciated!
