How do I reinstall the solenoid so that the hook grabs the lever in the starter?

[bernk]

Here is a photo of the hole that the solenoid mounts into, and the hook end of the solenoid's piston. I'm assuming the hook needs to grab the little crossbar on the lever so that it can engage the pinion gear, but I'm unsure of how I can make this happen when the bolts that mate the solenoid to the starter are fixed to the solenoid body and make it impossible to insert the solenoid in on an angle…
