I kept checking it with allen wrench in the gap (where it would seat eventually), but it was half way in when it lightly bottomed out on my setup. So I wasn't sure how I could correct it or knock out of alignment at that point... either way I am bummed if they weren't going to be seated perfect I would have rather just had a shop do it and save me all the time to learn it since I won't be doing it to many times.
Here is a picture of my lower ball joint.
