Default Issues with trans install

Ok so I got trans almost lined up I got one bolt in the houseing to the block. I've got one floor jack on a cart. (So I can move it around easier with the right surface, was the idea... Didn't turn out....) Also I have a bottle jack and a scissor jack to help transmission. But I can't get a good angle. Tried as many different ways I can think of but no luck. Any suggestions? I'm on the ground with jack stands holding truck up. pics to follow


The transmission is wanting to twist everytime I get close. The two bottom corners of the bell housing wouldn't mate so I went to bolt one up top

Did that and was able to get trans mated to block getting ready to double check what I have done and start putting bolts in bell housing in.
