Default HELP- Can't get the tranny dipstick back on correctly!

So I can't seem to figure out how to get the tranny dipstick lined up correctly. I can get it together but then there is nowhere to bolt the bracket to.. I think i have it turnes sideways or something but I can't see how its supposed to be. Any ideas??? pics would be great!!

Ok I don't know if you can see what I mean but there is a bolt hole down and right of the dipstick.. is that where it bolts to? Do I even have it in at the right angle? (ha ha yeah yeah)

I see whats going on, the tranny dipstick comes up behind the number 6 spark plug and sits almost vertical. The mounting tab attaches to the bellhousing above the starter. Not sure how you got that in there
