Default donut install woes

Hey folks,
I need some advise getting the left side swingarm isolator installed. The back wheel is off, the tranny has been jacked up. But I can't seem to get the bracket to line up with the isolator. does anyone have any ideas about how I can get this done?
Thanks, Eric

The front motor mount and the top and bottom stabilizer has to be disconnected.
After you then get it in...I would advise getting an alignment done. It is done with alignment blocks attached there at the swingarm....
