I got all the way to the last step of replacing the pin when i notice the mixer seemed to lock there in place and not move. What did i do wrong?

Hi there - There is a gasket around the engine part that you can see in step 7. Mine tore when I removed it. Is that a bad thing? I put the machine back together and it seems to work.
