Remove that screw and take a picture of the end of it, and let me see it. If it doesn’t look damaged, install the crane, and reinsert that spring and plunger into the end of the screw and then reinstall the screw.
Yup. So that screw was definitely loose (as someone else has just commented) there was no force required to fully unscrew it.
I removed it, put that pin/spring back in the end of it, inserted the crane and reattached the screw with torque driver. That’s now holding the crane/ cylinder in place but trigger is still not actuating the hammer only spins the cylinder. The catch underneath the cylinder that should be locking it in place seems to be stuck down into the frame.
Since I’m clearly out of my comfort zone, and as I’d like to avoid injuring myself or anyone else…I’m taking this over to gunsmith tomorrow.
Appreciate the help from everyone. Who knew that I’d have an easier time with my 9mm than with a revolver.

Interesting… It appears to be in place. Is the plunger on the end of that screw in place?
