Fuel Guage stopped working

[TriumphR3Newb]

Last year I changed my fuel filter. Afterwards the fuel gauge stopped working...kind of. I would fill the tank and it would move the needle just above empty. A little bit of riding and the red light would come on, gauge shows empty. I lived with it for most of last season. This year, just about to put my 2006 Rocket on the road and thought I would see if I could figure out the fuel gauge situation. I just finished pulling everything for the bottom of the tank. Everything looks fine, float is not stuck, connections appear good. Put it all back together and now nothing on the gauge. No movement, no red light. Anyone have thoughts as to why or something I can do to check. Much appreciated.

there is a plastic clip the float rod goes into .
it is probably not in the correct position

Perfect, I will pull it and see if that is the problem. Maybe I will take some pics as well. Thanks.
