GL650 Clutch basket issue - assistance needed
I am working on a 1983 GL-650. I pulled the clutch pack out. As I am reinstalling the clutch outer housing, I can not get it to seat into the engine thoroughly. I think it is because of the two gears on the outside of the housing are offset. It is sliding in on the first ring and hitting the rear teeth. See the picture below.
I see no refrence to this online or in my Clymer manual. Below are the parts I have pulled out in the order I am putting them back in.
Clutch cover, Lifter plate and springs, lock washer (directional) and locknut
Pressure Plate, Clutch Pack, Clutch outerhousing, roller bearing, bushing and Thrust washer.
This is a picture of the outer housing not fully seated.

If I remove the bushing, the outer housing will slide all the way back into the engine. I think this is because with the extra play the outer housing can sit lower and clear the offset teeth. There is no play in the outer gear rings on the outer housing. I tried to hit them with a brass punch to shift them into alignment with no luck. Has anyone see this issue before?
