Default Fn2 2010 civic shock absorber swap issue

Hi all,
I swapped out a knackered shock yesterday. All was going well until I put the new shock in and noticed I can't get get hub up enough to put the second strut to hub nut/bolt in place. I have a feeling the shaft at the engine end may of come out a bit. I've tried a few different scenarios... steering locked either way, jack under the lower control arm, g clamp the shock to the hub to try and close the gap and tried compressing the spring with strut fitted but no joy. Any ideas?
Thanks for reading

The axle had come out the engine side... I managed to relocate it and the hub bolted upto the shock just fine
