Sharp MX-B401 fuser seating problem

[Will]

Just replaced the fuser heat roller gear, bearings, actuator, the roller cam that cracks, along with the 2 gears that are on a swingback assembly inside the machine cavity just above the fuser. Now that its all complete went to install the fuser and the side with the heat roller drive gear that's suppose to mesh up with the swing back gears won't allow me to seat properly on that side. Its like the swing back gears won't lift up high enough
or something else is blocking the fuser to seat in place properly. Can't see anything in the way. Need some suggestions.

A lot of the return springs for the fuser drive do not get replaced, it may take some finess to install fuser unit. You might try a spring hook, or small flat blade to hold up drive gears to install.

Already tried that with no success.

that "swing plate" probably isn't installed right. There is a little tab that sticks out and of the plate and it needs to be installed so that the swing plate will raise up to allow the fuser to go in. Hard to describe but if you look close you will see it.
