Sounds like when you tried to remove the needle, you also removed the spindle that it fits on.
It's trial and error to get it back to it's original position. Try and do it with the engine running so you know where it roughly should be.
If your very lucky it will go on correctly, it can be done. Been there myself.
If not it's a new rev counter too.

P.S. Normally the fuel and temp just slide on around the needle with no need to remove them.
