I would suggest that you take a very close look at the shift shaft and the splines on it. Try and figure out what position the shift lever needs to be in to have the splines align. It can only go together one way at those splines. I have found that sometimes when everything is “ready to go” a slight fiddling of the shift lever allows everything to go together.
