I see only two small bare contacts where the LED would be supposed to be. I don’t have this replacement part in my records, but perhaps the amazing and talente...

Play in trem arm bushing
the issue seems to be that the bushing, itself, is a bit loose. Gotcha—you may know that the hex bushing has two parts: the top part where the arm inserts and a small threaded part that screws on at the bottom.

Loose vibrato arm
The bottom part of the pre-refined bushing is a threaded part the screws onto the larger part; make sure it’s tight on the larger part of the bushing, maybe? You’d have to turn it.

Three-ridge plate not touching step-stop
Physically, if the angle between the trem and the perpendicular plate where the three-ridge spring plate screws into, is 90 degrees, and the trem’s pivoting point has not moved, then regardless of spring’s health or how the guitar is tuned, the three-ridge plate should always touch the step-stop wh...

How much can you pull up in full floating vibrato?
It kinda depends on the string gauge you’re using and the angle of the spring, but you definitely don’t get the same range as, for example, on a Steinberger (in my experience).
