Default problems with ADJ Panhard

Ok so I got a UMI performance adjustable panhard. I had my entire rearend out to clean it up and I had lots of stuff to put on. I put everything back on.. LCA, Springs, Shocks, torq arm, drive shaft.
Heres the problem...
My rearend is off by about 3/4inch to one side. And I cant get the rearend to move the other 3/4 inch to set the adjustment. Are you supposed to loosen something inorder for the rearend to sway left to right a little bit?

Ive had to pull on the wheel to get it lined up. Ive heard of people having someone else push the wheel from outside, just be careful.

try using a long pipe or something and prying Put it up the back side of the wheel with the end up in the wheel well and pry the wheel towards you. Just a thought.

Are your LCA's Adjustable? Try to install the Panhard then make adjustments with the nut.
