See once you have put the pump in, can you force it down into position, which as lrb2 said above just means is sitting on the cam lobe (obviously something has to change in relation to that arm to work the pump).

In which case you have two options, push it down a little, in the process the arm will move and let you bolt it in, or, blimp the engine on the starter to get it off cam and it should go in a little easier (this also lets you square it up easier because your not tightening it against a upward force).
