Electrical wire crossed

[Ritch Shepherd]

Took out a ceiling fan, nut fell off so the wires are not matched up now. There are 3 black, 3 white at ceiling. One switch with one white one black connected. The problem is the ceiling connections. I located the hot black, but it isn't controlled by the switch.  I thought the hot black got connected to the light and the white thats next to it, got connected with the blacks, while the other 2 whites connect to the light.  When I did this, the light flockers when in off position. Thanks for any help
