Ok, I understand now. Sometimes you have to move the shell a bit, push/pull on the lifting arm closest to the silver bar to align the pin with the hole. You may have to push in/pull out on the shell a little. If it is to far off, this will be in the fore/aft direction there is an adjustment behind the plastic cover on the lifting arm closest to the bar giving you the problem. It is called a pocket stop and is used to limit the lift arm travel in the vertical position. There is a procedure for adjusting this in the tech section; from what I remember you make the adjustment with the shell in the closed position. Only make small adjustments. You will be moving a bolt in or out and it has a locking or jam nut to keep the bolt from turning. TM has a name for the bar also.
