dip the springs in thick grease push them in place then put clutch bell housing over them i usually have my plates sat on the bar you compress with so as soon as you put pressure on the bell you slide each one down

never had a problem with this even with the bike upright.
Simply put all your plates (corks and steels etc) on your clutch compressor and give it a bit of tension so the top plate is slightly compressed. The feed your springs in and seat them, followed by your plates. Tighten up the compressor then add the circle.
