However for example a bunch of G&G and King Arms mechboxes I've opened up, and when you put them back together, everything just stays in place by itself (or only takes one finger on the cylinder)

^^ This is the voice of experience.
I've worked on a bunch of mechboxes over the years and indeed the cheap Chinese brands (especially CYMA in my case) were a nightmare to work with compared to TM, G&P, KA, Systema, etc.
With good quality brand boxes and parts, everything stays in place nicely; the tabs/pins at the base of the spring guide fit snugly into the mechbox and you only need to apply a tiny bit of pressure on the spring to keep it from lifting the piston/cylinder; because the gears and anti-rev latch aren't falling out at with the slightest breeze, you can just drop down the top half of the mechbox shell and close it.

Buy better quality. Or suck it up and deal with the grief.
