I have never used a freehub/cassette assembly before, only freewheels so I don't know if these marks are normal. My guess is the lockring compressed the 11t cog enough to alow for movement. I have taken pictures of the hub, the 11t cog, and the order of assembly. Phone pics are the best I can do for now.
I think you got all the cogs and spacers, but if the smallest cog isn't put on correctly, you can tighten the lockring and still have the cogs rattle. Check to make sure the arrow on the smallest cog lines up with the wide notch on the cassette body. It's easy to offset the splines by one notch and have the small cog hang up on the top of the splines.
