help with shimano drag

I recently replaced the drag washers in my shimano torium 30 with durarex drag washers. The old drag was getting kind of jerky.
After installing the durarex washers i can only get 5lbs of drag. I took it in to the local repair shop and they told me I lost some of the washer that go between the drag and handle. (well maybe), 50.00 later I get the reel back and it still only has 5lbs of drag.
I took it apart and added two drag washers from a jig master on top of the durarex washer that sit all the way on the bottom under the brass gear.
Now I have big time drag if I want it, but the washers are different sizes and I am worried it might freeze up on that 60lb WSB being jerry rigged like that
Any one have an idea why I can't get any decent drag out of this reel. I know its put together perfect, I check it against the diagram. thank for any advice.
