Did you pull the cover in the interior? Try wiggling it around.

I hope you replaced all the hoses on top while you had it out.

Had that issue. Check that all the lines are in it's holder. Also, when that happened to me, I just wiggled it back and forth and it "slid" in. IDK, towards the top are dents that have to line up with the rear seat back sheetmetal.
