Get you a jack and place it under the LCA and lift it up and down (play with it) while sticking a flat head screw driver (and moving it around) into the bolt side of the screw hole. If you have a thin breaker bar you can also use that instead of a screwdriver. You probably already tried what I mentioned, if you did then keep at it bro you'll eventually get them in there. I though I was stripping the threads on mine when I put them in but luckily they were OK and finally slipped in and I got the bolts on. The hardest part for me was getting the lower part of the OEM shocks to slip out of the LCA, God it was a pain in the butt. I ended up using two breaker bar from the front and jammed some sockets behind the shock so it wouldn't have no where to go but straight up and finally out.

Make sure your holes line up. Put on the bottom bolt in first till it catches the thread then do the top after.

You are putting the caliper on wrong. Remove the bolts, re-align the caliper bolt holes so that the bolts FIRST feeds through the caliper, then into the hub.
