There is supposed to be a top with a round opening for the wick and some wax to burn off, to screw onto the copper tube, very much like a Tiki torch wick-holding top. The wax would burn off and the spring would push the candle higher.

Yes, I have those pieces but the opening in the top is bigger than any candle I can find. Do I flatten the top of the candle so it won't pop through the opening. I'm using straight-side candles rather than tapers.
