Hi Cody,
If you haven't changed anything, the fix should be simple. A couple 
of things come to mind quickly. If you detached the backstays, are 
they on the proper holes at the bottom of the backstays? If you have 
the traveller that is a a bar between the backstays, don't attach 
that until after the mast is raised and you've got all the stays 
attached. What kind of furler do you have?

Best,
Mary Lou
