I took apart my slipper clutch and spur gear on my sc10 and now only 1 side spins on the ground, the other side spins in the air but if I touch it with 1 finger it stops, I’m sure I put the slipper clutch back together good, idk why it’s doing this.
 
The slipper plates are keyed and move with the top shaft. The slipper pads fit in the recessed areas on the spur gear and move with the spur gear. I don't see how it's possible for one slipper plate, or one slipper pad not to be moving in unison with the other. Take slipper assembly apart and try again.
 
Are you talking about Right or Left. Or Front and Rear?

Slipper clutches need to be adjusted when you install or repair them.
It’s 2wd so the rear, the left side is the one not working properly

That’s what I though too, I assumed they weren’t fitting properly but everything went in good

Did a driveshaft screw back out, or is a bearing rusty or drive shaft binding?

I guess I mis interpreted, both of them won’t drive on ground? I tried adjusting the slipper by tightening and loosening, nothing is working

If the pins are in the axles, and you still got no power to the wheels/tires, then there is something wrong within the tranny case.
 
Check the pins inside the hex adaptors to make sure they are not missing.
I have done this before 🤣 man did i feel dumb, there they were on the work bench.
