Putting the Timing Cover Back on

Hey guys,
I just finished replacing the timing chain, tensioners, etc on my 06 Maxima, and I'm running into problems re-installing the front cover. I've already went through a tube of Super black rtv, because for whatever reason, I can't get the bottom seal to sit properly! it's driving me nuts!!!! I tried searching the forums to see if anyone else had this issue, but couldn't find an answer. If I sit the bottom of the cover (with the rubber seal ) on first, then I can't get the pegs on the sides of the cover to line up, and vice versa if I line up the pegs. Any tips, suggestions, VIDEO of someone putting it on (Youtube has NOTHING) would be great. Thanks in advance!

what seal are you talking about? If I remember correctly the front seal does only has liquid sealer on it.

It's the U-shaped gasket that sits on the bottom of the timing cover. There's a small notch to connect it to the cover, but it keeps moving

I'm pretty sure you figured it out by now but its the half moon seal. You have to tilt the cover downwards, its a pain while in the car.
