need help installing shocks

I have been having a hell of a time installing these illuminas. got the fronts in but i cant seem to get the rears. After i disassembled the stock one i then realized i should have marked the tops to everything lines up again. I looks like everything is now lined up but i cant get the bottom of the shock to line up with the hole. it needs to go about 1/4" higher but i cant get it there. If i ever get this one done i will definitely mark everything on the other side for the rear before i take it apart. Anyone got any suggestions that could help me. Thanks

pull the rear hub down. if the weight of the car is supported on the rear axle, you have the jack or stand in the wrong place.

Thank you JNCoRacer. That was it. Boy do i feel like an idiot that it was something that simple. Now hopefully the other side goes a lot smoother.
