putting a toilet flush back together?

I think you need to line up the mechanism on the cistern lid with the matching mechanism in the cistern.
This can be very fiddely. Match and line up the two halves, they can be flat or round or half round.. whatever.. but just match them up and carefully, slowly and gently lower the lid onto the cistern.

Do you mean the handle? or have you taken the cistern off the wall? or have you taken the siphon out of the cistern? What have you done Debbie?
Have a look on this site or a related one or come back to us with your toilet cistern make and model.
