Were the screw and spring on the lower section - holding the set of rings under RH 1, 2 and 3? If so (assuming the spring is actually on the correct side of the hook), maybe the rings are binding and not coming up fast enough, interfering with G5 when you release the F (RH index finger) ring, but then the problem rights itself when the ring eventually comes all the way up. This could explain why the screw had backed out in the first place. You may have tightened to screw far enough to cause it to bind.

Try backing the screw out just until the rings move freely. If that solves the problem, put a drop of oil on each end of the sleeve. If that works, you can either leave it that way and watch to see that the screw doesn't back itself out again, or (IMO, preferably) take it to a good repairman and have the fit adjusted between the sleeve and the screw so it *can* be tightened firmly without binding.
