Default Ignition switch issues

OK, I changed the bars on my 2012 street glide. After removing the ignition/lock from the bike It will no longer lock the bars or turn the bike to the run position.
How do I correct this issue. I have searched and asked may questions in old threads but they were older and haven't had a reply back about the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Readjust tumblers with screwdriver or homemade tool or buy the $25 tool

Ok, I'll order the tool. I have been trying to get this thing to work for the last 12 hrs. I have tried the screw driver and all.
Thanks.

+1 on the Marc Parnes tool. I just finished a major project on my Street Glide and being able to lock and unlock the fork or turn the bike to run with the ignition out was really convenient.
