Best way of putting front dampers with shims etc. back in place?

I am changing to H&R springs on my 355 and found it strait forward removing and refitting the rear dampers.

I can’t seem to find a nice and way to refit the rear damper though, the shims and the spacers are very hard to realign. Is there anyone that can tell me the correct/professional order to do this so that I don’t have to use brute force?

 

After doing this four times over the last couple of days I think I have developed some skills in doing this ;-)
Takning it slow and using the 4 upper bolts to tune in the lower hole is one thing. Another is to fix the shims in the outer most bolt, the smaller one and swing them back in to allign with the much harder large inner bolt. At least this seems to works fine for me
