2017 Ram 1500 5.7l Cv axle not seating?

I was trying to replace cv axles. Left side went on without a hitch, but this right side has been brutal. I can’t seem to get it to seat properly. I thought it was the intermediate axle so I replaced that, and it’s still getting hung up in the same spot. I’ve beat the hell out of it and it won’t move. Any ideas/suggestions?
