The plastic washer is MAJOR important IIRC there should be two one top and bottom. The plastic isolates the antenna from ground.

Good luck this is a good group I'm sure you'll do well following the advice you get here from the others. I am just learning or relearning myself.

With this mount type there should only be one washer I believe. That is how I've always ran mine as well as other setups. There should be 1 between the mount and the antenna lug.
