GEARBOX SPROCKET RETAINER PLATE NOT LINING UP AND SHAFT HAS GROOVE IS THIS FOR A CIRCLIP

Hi fellas well after damaging the bearings of my rebuilt crank when assembling and replacing them once again then this week was the time to assemble everything.Took photos of removal and every part was bagged and written on to show its location then stored away in large plastic boxes ready for the crank to come back from P.J Enginnering.Assembly went smoothly without hiccups until i got to the gearbox output shaft.Opened the bag with the sprocket and retaining plate with the two retaining bolts. I slid the sprocket on the shaft then sat looking at the retaining plate trying to figure out how bolting that to the sprocket would keep the sprocket on the shaft.I checked the manual which was of no help and the diagrams showed just the parts which i had bagged.I then noted that the output shaft near the end had a machined groove which i assumed was for a retaining circlip but no image or mention in the manual of one.i then slid the toothed retaining plate on the shaft up to the sprocket but no matter how i rotated it from one tooth left to one tooth right the holes in the plate were not aligned with the threaded holes in the sprocket.
HOW IS THE SPROCKET HELD ON THE SHAFT WITHOUT A CIRCLIP AND IF NO CIRCLIP WHY IS THERE A GROOVE THERE AND HOW THE HELL IS IT THAT THE PLATE AND SPROCKET HOLES DON`T ALIGN???And of all the pics i took there was not one of the output shaft before i removed it--typical cockup.HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP PLEASE
