Unscrew the die and reseat the spring onto the stem as perfectly centered as you can. (if it doesn't work first time, repeat the process... and again as necessary)

No need to be worried about things 'flying away' as you unscrew it. Then test by slipping a bullet through the stem. If there is no obstruction to the bullet falling through, all is good

It is a simple mechanism and the more the die is used ('beds-in') and 'finds it's own position', it will seat perfectly and the 'thunk' of the spring-coil will be gone
