SSM 3 Install

Having a hell of a time trying to install a couple of SSM 3s on my 38 flatdeck. I have done a lot of bravos with no issues but these are giving me fits.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does it seem like the input shaft is flopping around and not going into the transmission. If that’s what it feels like I use to put a long thin screw driver in helmet into ujoint at back of input shaft. Use screw driver to move input shaft around to line with back of tranny while pushing drive in.
