Push down one side of the shim and get the pin started. Push the pin in until it stops, then push the other side of the shim down and the pin should slide in the rest of the way. It will be tight at first. Be sure to use some thick silicon oil on the oring.

The o-rings from Tony's Screws are like that too, but once you get them in, the next time you rebuild it is easier and they are great!
O' and I think you added a "h" to sits

The fatter o-rings require you to push on the shim washer to get the pin in the outdrive. Make sure you have good grease on the outdrive shaft and on the o-ring sealing area. Once you the diff together, it will feel notchy till the diff breaks in and the o-rings seat. Its better than having the diff seep oil out all the time with stock S5 o-rings.

Oh and on another note, don't overfill the diffs, just over the top of the crosspins
