You have accidentally pulled the axle out too far and the fulcrum plates have slipped behind it.  This is why you can't push it back in enough.

To fix it, you must pull off the axle tube flange retainer and slide the tube off.  Then remove the circlip that holds the thrust washer that holds the side gear in.  From there you will be able to put the fulcrum plate in the right place.
