Problem replacing control arms

Good everyone,
I am trying to replace both my lower control arms . However they do not seem to line when I try to put them in. I can get them into the knuckle and the front bushing in but where the mounting bolts go to the subframe there is a good distance between them and won't mount up to the subrame. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Dr.j I bought moog control arms new. I got both of them in . I separated the hub from the knuckle and bolted it up from the back first and then put the ball joint in. It was much easier this way and went right in . Thank you for replying
