Steering column collar and hub

Third time was the charm for me. Thank you for the reply and help.
I am replacing the steering column collar as well. Eliminating the shift on column. I cannot get the collar to seat correctly or both bolt heads to catch and tighten.....
Been playing with this for hours and it's not cooperating. May be an issue with the column too. The sleeve that the bolt heads are supposed to catch on is pretty tweaked. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
