If you don't rotate your display all the way forward after releasing the internal spring the, the internal bracket won't lock into place. If the bracket is not locked into place once you remove the stand the bracket will retract back into the display making it impossible to install the bracket. You're hosed, sorry. You probably should take it to the Apple Store and pay whatever they charge to get the bracket back out of the iMacs body as I believe it's going to require a complete tear down in order to access it.
