Slide out motor issue

So we had to disengage our slide out motors to get home on the last outing, when I went to reinstall the motors, the coupler that goes onto the drive shaft and motor will not go all the way down to where it should be, I have taken measurements and it shows the coupler sticking up. Coupler does engage on driveshaft and motor, but it is not flush to the mounting block . So retaining screw from the outside will not go where it should. Any help would be appreciated.

Go to myrvworks.com. This guy has a real good video on changing these motors and troubleshooting.

I watch a few of his videos, but nothing that shows hoe to get the coupling back in.

Success

I took the coupler and added a chamfer where it fits onto the drive shaft, put it in place and moved the slide out back and forth manually and it fell into place. Hope this may help someone else with the same issue.
