Default Torque converter won't seat

Hey everyone I have a 94 accord EX AT. I have having great difficulty getting the torque converter to slide all the way in. It sticks out about 3/16" beyond the bell housing. I've been rotating and pushing until i'm blue in the face. Any tricks? am I missing something? how far beyond the bell housing should it seat?

Bookmarked this in case I had problems:

But the torque converter gods must have been smiling on me because mine slipped in easy; the first of three clicks/clunks isn't very loud as I recall.
