Had the exact same problem, only took me about two hours to work it out by trial and error!

However use this link, its a photo of the set-up that i think will be the same as yours, looks the same as the golf anyhow.

On the right i seem to remember having to use a screwdriver to lever a metal part into place, difficult to describe. Its a fiddly job so dont worry if it takes a while to do!

Also, the master cylinder, dont know if you have used an elastic band to hold the piston each side of it in place. If not and its leaked you will need to re-bleed the brakes.

ALSO dont breath anything in, really hazardous stuff so dont get too close, or wear a mask.

LOL!! You better have another go at refitting the brake parts mate, or they may let you down at the worst possible time.
