Angelo,

The large hex nut does go below the deck and the cap + chrome ring go above. 
As you might of guessed the cap is screwed into the hex nut.
It is a tight fit to get the hose on the tank and the hex nut at the same 
time.

I believe the last time I did this the tank was not tightened down so I had 
some wiggle room. I believe I attached the hose to the hex nut/spigot first 
and then eased the hose over the take inlet.

Dont forget to install the clamps very loose before you put the hose on!

In order to orientate the gas cap correctly, make sure you screw the cap 
tight, align, and then tighten the hose clamps.
