Help with shifter

I have a 99 F-150 with the M5OD transmission. I made the mistake of removing the shifter while it was in gear and now when I put it back together it wont shift. I understand that the 3 shift rails must be lined up for it to work I am just not sure how to do this. It’s the rail on the left side that is causing the problem. I have been unable to move it by just pushing on it with a screwdriver. Is there a trick I need to know?
Any help would be most appreciated

You might try rocking the truck a little bit with the clutch pushed in.
