Try greasing them up so they slide in better.

When one barely lines up stick a small screw driver through it to hold it in place. When they are farely close you can wiggle the screwdriver around and move them into position easier.

Easiest way that works for me is by bolting up the Left/Right mounts first

Then the Rear mount, and finally the Front

Never fails for me... use lube if necessary
