Try rotating the balancer, it will only go on one way. Try different holes.

Loosen the two back up a little then try to start the 3rd one.

The holes are not symmetric. There is only one orientation that will line up all three bolt holes.

In one position only one hole will line up, in the next position you can get 2 bolts in, and in the the third all three bolts will go in. I fought it for the better part of a day on a 1992 Corvette before I figured it out, don't feel too bad.
