OR No 5th gear or Reverse

so a while ago my transmission randomly stopped shifting out or 1st or 2nd so I took it out, took it apart and found out that a little ball bearing was jammed in there somewhere so I made sure I had all gears, put it together and put it in. now that its in and all put back together I dont have 5th or Reverse.

I dont have any idea why it would work perfectly fine until its in but i was hoping someone could shed some light on my situation thanks.

make sure nothing is blocking anything in the shifter.
