HELP! PLEASE

does ANYONE have a tip for getting the shift lever back into the tranny the correct way?
i got it in alright but itll only move to the left and not right, and wont go in any gear. (tranny was either in nuetral or 5th when ipulled it but i thought it was in Nuetral.)
any help is appreciated. 5-90's already given me some advice but im gettin desperate for more ideas haha.
