T-5 speedo swap. Tailhousing won't go on!

In the middle of a non wc to wc swap in my TA. Changed speedo gear and now I can't get the tailhousing to go on. I got it on the first time right away but had to take it off to line up the shifter and ball bearing. Now I can't get it to line up. Something is hitting inside the casing and I can't get it to sit right. Been working on it for a while.

I had this happen to me once. When I pulled off the tail housing I pulled the shift rod out of the center section. I had to take the cover off and put the shift rod assembly together correctly.
