in that order usually. that rubber strip is IMPORTANT, protects the
tube from the rim. It needs to be in there...dahikijk.
Now wait for a certain dumb shit to talk some lies after I'm done.

Perhaps you could make notes on the current positioning
of the 4 separate pieces in the existing tire/wheel assembly
and replicate their positions when you install the new tube.
Pieces that were not used in the old assembly are obviously
unnecessary and should be politely ignored until they go away.
Alternately, you could buy a case or so of Slime tire sealant
and apply to the tire (with appropriate chanting) until you have
driven the flat tire demons away.

Like I said: "Pieces that were not used in the old assembly are
obviously unnecessary and should be politely ignored until they
go away. " :-)

Possibly this setup allows you to fit the tube to a tubeless rim ?
I was not kidding when I suggested that you might ignore the parts
with no obvious function.
If the rim is set up for a tubed tire and it appears that the stem
will
seat flush and safe without the washer and the old tube worked fine
without this washer, maybe the washer is to adapt the tube to a
different type of rim. You do, of course, need a liner between the
spoke ends and tube, but if the stem diameter matches the hole,
I can't see an obvious need for the washer.

Kinda looks like don't use the washer, no nut on inside and a loose nut
on outside, if at all.
