You were right it was in wrong, just shortly after I read your comment and I was trying to test it out on an old Zenith Transistor radio I have and I heard a "Pop" noise and I checked it out and sure enough the filter cap that was attached to the diode had vented, thankfully i had a 22 MFD 160 VDC electrolytic in my stash that I was able to replace the vented cap with and now its fine, although I found out that apparently my Zenith radio was way out of adjustment because the 455 kHz IF tone couldn't be heard until around 600 kHz on the radio dial rather than at the end of the dial.
