Need help putting my front shocks back in after mid perch

I had my front shocks out to set at mid perch, while out I cleaned them up and removed the corrosion. I'm now having trouble lining up the three top bolt holes is there a trick to making sure the spring, collar etc is all lined up correctly? Thanks pics would be helpful too.

You should have made a mark on the top shock plate and the spring with a paint marker before you took it apart so you have a reference when you put it back together. Hind sights a bitch.

Is there a fix or will I need to just play with it until I get it to line up correctly?

Don't play with it to much, you'll go blind! you may need to take the shock apart and make sure the orientation is correct. Check google images and look for a close up pictUre of the shock mounted so you can see if yours is wrong.
