Rear knuckle install? Help

Rear knuckle install? Help
So, I've removed my rear knuckles, and pressed new bearings to install extended wheel studs. I'm having issues getting all the links back together on the driver side hub. The passenger side went together (not easily, but everything lined up for the most part and just needed a bit of encouragement). The driver side is mostly back together, but there's two links that are way off (only like 3 inches off, but that's a lot when there's next to no room for movement). The two links that are not connected are the toe adjuster link, and the lowermost link. It appears the knuckle is toe'd out a bit, but there is definitely no way to push it in by hand to get the last two to line up.
Is there a certain order the links are supposed to be installed? That's my main question.
I tried to install the driver side in the same order i did the passenger side, but could not. I started with the axles, and then the toe link. When i did the toe link first, the knuckle was cocked like crazy with toe-in (like i was making a right turn, but in the rear). So I took it off and decided to do that one last

glad it worked out
thinking about it, I’ve been on racing coilover shocks for many many years now. I usually leave installing the shock/spring assembly until last, but with the racing coilover setup it’s a lot easier to install it up through the assembled suspension arms. I seem to recall that it’s a lot harder to do that with an OE shock/spring assembly.
