needles might be in too far
Use a fork to pry them back

He's either reset the needles improperly (put them on the motors in the wrong position), or pushed them on too far, and they're sticking.

Need to pull the cluster apart again, and lift the needles a bit, to make sure they don't stick on the dial face.
