I tried to fix a stuck shutter on a Canon AE-1 and made it worse

I had a Canon AE-1 come in last week with the shutter stuck halfway. It looked like a simple cleaning job, so I pulled the top plate and bottom plate off to get at the mechanism. But I accidentally knocked the self-timer linkage out of alignment, and now the mirror won't flip up at all. Has anyone else had this happen with these old Copal shutters, and is there a trick to resetting that timing without tearing the whole thing down?
