Default New speedo install assistance

I got a new speedo with a tach for my 1989 cherokee from a 1990 cherokee. The plastic connector that clips on the back of the cluster is an inch or two shy of reaching the gauge cluster with my hand in the way. I tried shoving it in and aiming and that never made a connection just pushed it further back. Anyone have experience with this problem? Any advise? I have some pictures uploaded in my album I wasn't sure how to display in this post.

Thanks in advance.

The plastic blue and white thing that goes behind the speedometer is what im having trouble plugging in. The other 2 plugs for instruments i can connect with ease, although my tach doesnt seem to be working. Is it possible that its speedometer driven? Anyone have a wiring diagram for the gauge pod or the connectors? Or can anyone tell me the easy way to plug in the speedometer cable?
