After verifying it has the correct clutch disk in there and it is lined up with the pilot bearing/bushing, try putting the transmission in gear so the input shaft doesn't move. Then while mating the two if it doesn't slip right in, rotate the crank slightly (spark plugs out) until it does go in. I always use at least 2 usually 4 line up pins (long bolts with the heads cut off screwed into the block to make sure the angle is not off. I also use a hacksaw and make screwdriver slots in the back ends of the pins to make sure they are easy to get out.
