FIRST...the clutch...fiber plate goes in first and sits against the bottom of the clutch basket? The existing plates show that but the book is telling me the opposite.

2ND.....the stator studs have an odd taper..they start out at 5/16 but taper down to 1/4. Is there a special nut for this? The holes in the Stator are 5/16 and will locate on the stud for maybe 1/3 of its depth. Why all the extra space and the taper?
 
and another question...before I remove the rear wheel...I noticed the sprocket/brake drum has movement foreward and backwards if I grab the sprocket and turn it towards the front wheel then backwards as though it has a lot of free play on the splines. Most likely problem?

That's normal
Nothing to worry about

Fibre first

#2..that's how I assembled the plates contrary to the parts book and manual

They do wear out eventually
But it's normal to have some play
Does it have the foam/rubber doughnut fitted?
They give a little damping
It's definitely fibre plate first
Good luck with the clutch I usually fit at least one more plate
Only use atf in the primary case
And every plate needs to be absolutely flat if you don't want clutch slip
 
The QD splines wear, leaving out the rubber doughnut accelerates the wear. Both spline parts were available separately as spares and can be replaced with the one in the hub being a major operation involving solid rivets.
