Default 5 lug conversion problem

im doing a 5 lug conversion for a 93 civic coupe with a ls-v-tec. I have the jdm itr 5 lug with the 36mm axle nut. The driver side fit perfect, but the passenger side axle seems too long, and the hub assembly wont fit into the upper a-arm. is it supposed to fit? or am i supposed to get a different axle?

Also note that it's particularly easy to pull the axle shaft out of the CV joint with the boot still on. There are bearings in there that need to be lined up correctly or the shaft won't slide back in.

I took the 5 lug off of a gsr and put them on the coupe. it fit the gsr, but i have no idea why its not fitting the coupe. with both axles next to each other, the JDM shaft is 1-2" longer than the stock one.
