The headlight high beam / low beam switch is a part of the stalk controls and the current for the headlights passes through the switch. That switch may be the one missing the copper prongs that came out. I do not know how to put it back together.
Your description of "layering the switches together on the column" sounds like you have an early 85 as the late 85 and onward have a one piece switch assembly. (You should mention early or late 85 when asking questions as there are significant differences.) On the early cars, the high/low activation is done with the turn signal stalk, but the switch itself is on the wiper stalk assembly. When these assemblies are put together, they hook in a certain way such that the turn signal stalk activates the switch. If this is not done correctly, the headlights may not function, or may not switch between high and low beams.
