The axle probably just isn't lined up right. Pull it out a bit, just turn the axle a little until it goes in. You have to hold the end of the axle straight and get it lined up for it to fit in the trans correctly.
All 1988-00 Civic single cam axles will interchange, along with transmissions, ignoring the whole hydro/cable issue. The axle will fit. You just don't have it aligned in there perfectly.
