1) He tried to retell the story, but his narration was too loose so no one understood the message of the story.
2) Dwight tries to set Jim up all the time because he's envious of Jim's promotion. (Keep in mind that the term "set someone up" has multiple meanings. Since there is little context, it is probably a good idea to specify what you mean here: Does Dwight try to trick Jim? Make him look bad? Blame him for thing he did not do?)
3) The clash was ceased temporarily because the opponents decided to try to settle things down in a peaceful way.
4) They weren't the most enjoyable days of my life, but the experience was priceless. ("I got a priceless experience" isn't incorrect grammatically, but what I put seems more natural to me.)
5) Father asked me to start a fire while he assembled the tent. (There are a few options for tense here. We also usually use the verbs "pitch" or "set up" with a tent. "Assemble is not incorrect, but it sounds more formal.)
6) The teacher tried to steer the students on the right direction, but all his efforts were useless.
