Putting a reel seat on is a logic step by step process. I always glue the caps or threads on first. Then I glue it on the rod. If the inner tube is needed then yes glue it with the above and let dry before glueing it on the rod. Make a practice run and make sure you can put it together , then on the rod with no problem. I am not familiar with this type of inner woven reel seat.
Did you try searching pac bay ? or just plain rod building. There are instructions out there somewhere on the internet.
Good Luck
