This video in the 12 o'clock position shows a pronounced turn in at the end. All of mine are completely gone and I see paint missing at what is left on mine meaning they had to be worn. The two fingers I bent in after the fact made the proper clicking noise that it didn't make before so I am confident that it should have the above protrusion.
 
Here is what I know so far and have been able to deduce.
Hub arrived gummed to the max with only one gear.
I cleaned it up, not gummy any more but I still have no high gear.
There was nothing stopping this spring from working so I have to assume it was worn/broken off before I had the wheel built.
 
And why I wanted a picture. When you said the inner fingers I was thinking you meant the fingers bent inward. They're just straight. The fingers you are talking about should a little kick to them but I've had them work fine without them as long they engage the clutch. You can tweek them a little just be gentle. But if you're missing one of the fingers completely I'd say you need a spring. I've never seen one missing a finger.
Just don't want you to keep throwing money at it.
 
It's all good. You are all better versed at these components than I am so I tossed up the pictures.
Just having a rough go finishing this bike up. Previous owner did an amazing cosmetic job and I want to finish it the way it deserves.
Just had a helpless moment as all my local shops that could help have dried up in the last 2 years. CABE has been amazing but sometimes you have to hand something to more of a professional. It's all good I will see this through but I'm not 100% this is the only thing wrong at this point. It's broke lol so either way the hub is better today than it was yesterday lol 😅
 
I bought the spring and it shipped so I figured I had nothing to lose trying to tweak the broken part. One snapped and the others I was able to push significantly just to see if there was a difference.
