    Sounds like all you have to do is reconnect the flapper linkage back to the flush lever,(see image). Let me show how to adjust the flapper linkage.
    With the flapper seated the linkage wants to have 1/4" of play. Too much play and the flapper doesn't get pulled back enough giving you a short flush. Too tight and it lets water seep past the flapper. I adjust the chain by the link and if it needs fine tuning, I bend the flush lever rod a bit until I have the desired play in the linkage. Good luck, Tom
