Default Question on installing S-Tech

So was putting my s-techs on today, aside from smashin my middle finger and losing the nail (vicodin fixed that lol) the front were a breeze. Now im on the back got both struts out with new springs on them. Now im having one hell of a time getting them back in, the angle im having to push them up at isnt letting the top of the strut get all the way up against the body, anyone have any tricks tips? or something i can maybe remove to help get it in there. Ive already tried putting the spring compressors on it and trying to put em in but that just made it more awkward to get in there. Any help asap is greatly appreciated.

Have someone jump on that rotor or drum. Make the assembly go down, but at the same time, try to apply pressure to get that strut back in.
