Torsion bar install "offline"

I finally was able to get all my parts for the front end rebuild.

So I got the Qa1 LCAs and adjustable struts in, but when I try to install the 1.03 bars, they are on a slightly different angle than the socket of the LCA making them impossible to slide in. Ive got the hexes lined up though so its all good there.

I do have the car on stands along the frame rails placed roughly where the rear crossmember is. Could that be causing the flex in the body making the angle off?
Should I just place a jack under the K frame instead and relieve that stress where the jack stands currently sit?

Btw, all suspension is out so I have complete ftee movement throughout.

I think this might just be a "Doh" moment, but I had a few too many the other night and my brain aint working right yet...LOL.

Also, the drivers side is hitting the exhaust pipe right about where the proportioning valve is. I need maybe an 1/8 of an inch. Any suggestions other than hitting the pipe with a hammer?
