Post Alternator Install, What am I doing wrong??

OK, I am on hour three of reinstalling the alternator. I cannot get the lower bolt though.
It is close, but is not lining up. Need words of advice/encouragement. 409 553 8922

When I put in my alternator a few weeks ago, I purchased a rebuilt from and autozone like place. The lowest bolt had a hole that was threaded, but the original did not. The original bolt was only half threaded so I had to drill out the threads. Not sure if thats your problem, but that was the only issue I ran into.
