Use a good driver. Look how pretty it is as it squishes into the oil grooves.
Shove a known good slip-yoke into it and rotate that slip-yoke around to smooth things out a bit.
Prepare to do that again when it's installed. The green and staking is pointless (even if RSG says so and prepare to have problems with their bushing too)

I've had the remover / installer tool.
I've had a tool made to install the bushing.
It will still swell into the grooves.

You're welcome.
