Please move this if this isn't the proper place to post.

I bought a Springfield EMP this weekend, so I went on You Tube and watched a great video on how to disassemble and reassemble it. I took it down and cleaned it just fine yesterday, but I can't get the slide stop back in during reassembly. I line it up w/ the hole on the barrel and start sliding it in, however, I can't get the right hand side of the slide stop to push in - it seems like the slide stop is too long (which, of course, I know it isn't). What am I doing wrong? All suggestions are very welcome.
