Default Cross member Dimple Alignment

I'm installing the driver's side suspension after putting in all new bushings and ball joints in a 1980 Chevrolet g20.

The lower control arm has a cross member with a small hole on one side meant to go into a stud on the lower control arm cradle.

I tried my best to rotate the cross member so that the hole would line up with the stud, yet when I go to install it I can't tell if it's lining up, here is a picture

Any ideas, on how to make sure the hole and stud align and go in?

Don't tighten the bolts holding the bushings on until you have the weight on the tires.
