im installing the 3.0 coil overs

these shocks are a pain.... im putting the top of the shock in first into the hat with the hose facing towards the foward of the truck. when i go to put the bottom of the shock into the lca it refused to go in no matter how hard i try.. am i suppose to use any of the stock spacers at all? or do i just toss them. any techniques that could help?

as u can see from the pics i got all 3 upper bolts in everything disconnected but the bottom of the strut is all catty cornered. i can get it up and over the lca but cant get the metal pieces to line up with the holes in the lca. ive tried putting in the other shock with no luck, also made sure it was bolted on right
