I know what the problem is!!!! When I was using the alignment tool I also noticed that it moved around a lot. After tightening my clutch bolt down I took a look into where the alignment tool "did" its job. It was way off wack!! I ended up instead eye balling it myself and then the tranny slide right in like a pickle sliding down a hallway.
