Very common issue. Almost always the c clip.
If you didn't jam it too hard to remove, pull it off remove the c clip and test fit without it.
Then swap c clip from old axle, install with the opening of the c clip down. Get it to where the c clip binds and hit with 3# hammer to set. It should go in with 3 hits. If it doesn't pull it out and tweak the c clip. The last one I did took 3 different clips before I got it on.
