1pc rear main seal install

Im replacing the rear main seal in my 98 while the transmission is out. Well, I'm trying to. Getting it out was easy, back on not so much. I've now bent the lip on two seals. I'm using the plastic install sleeve supplied with the gasket, its fel-pro. Any ideas what exactly I could be doing wrong? Tips on installing? I watched the youtube videos and don't see anything different from what I'm doing.....
