Default Singer 12, trouble with setting needle :-(

Hello,

thanks to helpful members here, I finally got my shuttle seated into its carrier. Now I've been fiddling (off and on) with the new needle and simply can't seem to get it properly inserted. I've even stooped to using a compact with a magnifying mirror to get a look at the underside of the clamp, but of course can't get the needle in while the mirror is there (because it needs to go down the hole in order to line up at all).

This really shouldn't be that hard! If anyone has any advice, detailed photos, or even a video of how you manage to set your needle, please post -- I'd be eternally grateful!
