why did you have the shaft out in the first place .
they can be difficult to get in some times they do need a good push . some brute force and ignorance as they say.

what gearbox is it mate?

the RS2000 has a 25 splines on the inner shafts and the std IB5 ones have 23 splines.

if your using the same g/b and d/s that were on the car originally then just line it so yu can turn the hub, and the g/b turns then give it a whack

either wrong shafts or not going in properly.
i usually just put them in then just kick the wheel inwards and they usually just pop in.
you will need the bottom ball joint out to get it in properly
