Helix question - Does this look right?

I was installing my new BDX 44/36 helix and I noticed I had two narrow plastic washers under the outside end (the end you can see) of the orange secondary spring. Is this correct or should there be one?

I vaguely remember BDX saying to install the spring like this when I was installing their shift assist kit.

Does this look right to you?

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Mine hadd 2 spacers from the factory. Assembled just like yours from what I can see in the photo.
 
I just removed one plastic spacer and it seems to work better. the shift assist is almost the same thickness and by leaving in both plastics and the SA you are increasing the start rate of the spring and keeping it that way all the way across the shift. you do not need them to reduce friction, only one side needs to move.
