re stringing an electric guitar

hey im a newbie. and i just bought a cheap academy electric guitar, and i thought that it was important to restring it. now the bridge i have a 6 parts (metal pieces) where the strings are supposed to come through. and i took them off and the back piece of the guitar to stick the strings through, and then tried to put the parts of the bridge back on, except now they don't fit. and when i tried to tune it, it wouldn't play because the strings are too close to the pickup closest to the bridge. and i can't seem to find any help online about restringing it. please can someone send me a link that would help, or offer some advice. remember i'm a newbie, who could just use a hand.
God Bless,
