I own 3 Lews Tournament MB reels, I clean one and it fine, finish the 2nd one and now the drag doesn’t click. Its a little frustrating to say the least. Any advice is appreciated. 

Ps there are no extra parts left over

Just check that the drag clicker washer isn't turned over the wrong direction. 

The drag clicker washer may be turned over the wrong direction.

Yeah it gets expensive sending them out, but I don't like to tinker so......

 

Did you take pictures as you disassembled the reel?  As FishTank stated, it is my understanding that some washers only go in one way.

Always keep the reel schematic next to your work area. If you don't have the original you can download one.

When disassembling lay out parts in the order you removed them, facing the way they came out. Assemble in reverse order. + All the above tips.

X2.  

take photos so you can refer to them later - bread crumbs to find your way home

 

Highly recommend a junker baitcaster to experiment with. Basic design is pretty much the same but taking it apart and putting it back together you WILL make mistakes initially and its a safer way to learn. 

I tried a complete tear down a couple times in the past and ended up in the same sort of boat as you.  There are some parts that have to go back in a specific way so it is really key to lay them out exactly as you take them off when disassembling.   I now just do the basic maintenance a couple times a year to all the bearings and parts easily accessible on the opposite side of the handle side and leave the deep cleaning, brakes...etc. to someone who knows better with what they are doing every few years.

This 100%

Update: I cleaned another reel with no problem. Took photos and was a breeze.  

I tried the other reel that the drag doesn’t click and still know luck.

The parts that make the drag click are an extremely tiny spring and ball. You probably dropped em while taking your drag star off, and didn't realize it.
