It needs to be perfectly aligned to go together, both angularly, and up and down and side to side. Don't forget the shaft must be rotated to get the splines in angular alignment.
When putting the motor in my 33 I had the inspection cover off and was able to put a long pointed bar through the hole and push the splines around until they finally aligned and slipped in. Shine a good light down there so You can really see what is going on.
