97 Explorer XLT 2WD 5.0/ Clutch Plates

[Chrisrod2016]

Thanks for any feedback in advance. I have a 97 Ford Explorer XLT 2WD V8 5.0. and had to change my left side rear axle. We had to also take out the Spide Gear to change the clutch plates because they were worn. Well when we took the left and right gears out (Pic 1 and 2) that had the clutch plates we accidentally mixed up and moved some of the clutch plates and dont remember the order. I was told you have to put the new clutch plates (Pic 3) in the same way so I was hoping some one knows the lay out on how the clutch plates go on for the left and right gear.

Is it ok to hear some mild humming noise until the new clutch plates break in?
