how to reassemble mountain bike rear wheel hub and bearings

So I thought I would sort out my wheel bearings (after asking a few questions here first). Did the front without much of a problem, (reused the existing bearings at the moment, had not got round to going to the LBS to get new ones). I tried to do the rear wheel tonight. So I got the wheel off, took the quick release out. undid one side of the axle (disk brake side I believe), took out the bearings etc. I noticed that a few of the bearings from the cassette side had fallen out while taking the other side off. I then used the chain whip and other bit thing (who's name I can not remember) to eventually undo the cassette (was on real tight). Took everything apart (trying to remember the order, even placing things in rows of where it came from) and cleaned it all up. Went to put it back together again and I can not figure out at all (not with any confidence) how the bearings go into the cassette side under the locking nut (think its called that, the bit that comes off with the chain whip and tool). Here are all the bits and the wheel. Think I may have to admit defeat and go the LBS to get it sorted but they had a 5 or so day wait. I am hoping someone might be able to guide me in the right direction to get this working again please.

its not really an answer but if the axel with cone attached is bent slightly then it will have to be replaced right ? if so where can i get them from ?

Consider taking photos as you undo things - its a good reminder for reassembling
