Bimmer Needs Reverse

So I set the engine back in my car today- sweet! Problem is, that when it was halfway in, I dicked around with the slave cylinder for a while, but couldn't reach it very well. I decided that while I know it's a HUGH PITA, to get the engine in place, & get the slave in once the motor was in. Now of course, I can hardly reach it, let alone see it. At least before I could see it.
Should I:
A-work with it from where it is and get it in eventually, or
B- loosen the motor mount nuts, pick the motor back up, pull it 1/2 way out & keep jimmying it til I get it in?
WWAWD?

if it just won't be easier & quicker with a buddy to lift & pull the engine back out about a foot & try at it again. I suppose I'll give myself an hour or so in the current condition, & if it's not happening, then I'll consider pulling it back out.

It's hard to do even then, but persevere. Do NOT set it when the motor is rested on mounts. It's much harder to line up correctly.
