1953 Ford Fordoor Window Regulator Roller Install

I bought some of the aftermarket (Dennis Carpenter) window rollers. White Plastic roller , cupped washer, Flat washer, a spring, and retainer clip. I am attempting to put them back into the window channels and they don't seem to fit and ride in the channel all that nicely. (Even with a good helping of lubrication. I am wondering if I don't have them installed correctly. I have the channel lips wedged in between the roller lip and the cup washer. The cup washer doesn't ride squarely in the channel and causes friction in movement.. Do any of you have experience with this one and am I installing them correctly?

I have attached pictures of how I have them installed

Also, I am trying to figure out the best way to load the rollers into the channels that are mounted inside the door cavity. Since the rollers are spring loaded I'm not finding much success... You have to do it single handed and I have T-Rex Arms.. Yikes.
I have a shop manual but it is not providing any of the finer details needed to do this.
