Default Spring question

Well today i was helping Zach put the front springs in his mustang, it was kinda a pain but we got the one in. After it was in i noticed the end of the spring was not in the pocket on the a-arm. my question is will it slide into place or do we need to lower the a-arm again and twist the spring? thanks everyone

Take as much strain off it as you can and try to turn with a pry bar or something(just be careful,it might come out at ya real fast).That would ruin your day real fast.

your day? more like your life, and we cant really twist it because it is a drag spring and it is like 4inch taller than the stock one. So its tight in there.
