Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
So I used the PDF you sent me and put the bolt together as much as I could, but I don't know where the last 4 little part go. I know I don't have the firing pin in the picture.

ok, as you look into the "bore" for the locking piece in the carrier, the hole at the 3 o'clock position has the longest pin inside a roll pin-it is driven flush to that face- you should see the tail of the long pin through the hole on the "right" side. the hole on the left side has a roll pin driven flush to the outside face as a tensioner to the LP. and the center hole in the bolt head in the above picture takes a roll pin to keep the roller spring wire in place. If you need pics, let me know.
Ok, so I got the one in that keeps the roller spring in place without a problem. I had to take some of the metal off of the middle of the wire though for the roller pin to fit between it. I took the long thin pin and inserted it into one of the other roller pins as seen in the picture and drew an arrow to where It goes. That is how it goes in right? It doesn't want to go into the hole like that at all... The last roller pin in the side (red arrow) cannot go in all the way otherwise I can't get the locking piece in. Am I supposed to file that pin down?

You are on it! Do you have some calipers you can measure the roll pins? It is possible that the sizes you got in your kit are not exactly right. I can't find dimensions for the roll pins in my stuff- yet. Not sure if I have them but I thought I did. The pin that goes where your red arrow does protrude quite a bit internally-but maybe the roll pin you have is a touch too long? I'll post a pic or two here shortly.
All of the pins are the same size. Is the pin that the red arrow is pointing to supposed to touch the locking thing or just be there so the locking thing cannot spin all the way around? The way it is in the picture, it will not let it spin all the way around, it isn't actually up next to it and touching it though. If that is all it is supposed to do, I will just file the pin down and make it flush.

more pics coming shortly...batteries just died. If you look at your LP...do you see on the side of the eccentric lobe the rounded slot? that slot cradles the longer pin when in position- so in the above pic the LP insertion should be counter clockwise rotation. The roll pin should keep you from rotating it clockwise.
In the "port" at the 11:30 position above- if the LP is installed that "cradle/slot" should be captured with the long pin and be clearly visible- that functions sort of as a tensioning "spring".
In the bolt head itself, my roll pin that captures the roller spring protrudes about 20 thousandths into the bore for the LP- this rides in the slot on the spade of the LP.
