Ivan, in addition to what Steve wrote you have to double-check the steering stem bearing preload after you tighten the top bolt with the flange, the one you had come loose. If the top bolt is too loose it'll come off again; too tight can increase the bearing preload on the steering stem bearings.
With the front wheel off the ground to check the bearing preload you may have to go back and forth a few times between adjusting the two lock rings and tightening the top bolt or the steering will be a little too stiff and slowly destroy the bearings.
If the races already have already formed detent, well, that's a different set of Matruska dolls!
