Surly Bridge Club Cane Creek 40 Headset

Hello,

I recently took apart my headset to figure out a creaking sound that was coming from the front end, it ended up being a misaligned front rotor/loose front wheel. I ignorantly forgot to keep note of which order I took the headset bearings off in and now as I'm re-assembling everything I've noticed a bit of a gap with the lowest bearing you can see in the photo where there is a little bit of brown showing.

I'm looking at pictures of similar bikes online and it appears there is no gap, whereas in mine there seems to be a pretty noticeable gap. Does this mean I've installed the bearings in the wrong order and would anyone happen to know which order they go in?

Thanks for your help!
