what problem are you having? I just did this last week and had no problems.
After pushing the tank all the way back i put the rubber hose in place with its respective clamps, put the rubber surround over the filler neck, opened the fuel door and pushed the filler down into place.
It takes a bit of convincing because there is a rubber ring in the fuel tank it seals with. After that, spin it about to line the holes up and make sure the leg sticking off the filler neck is towards the back of the car.
also make sure the hose is sitting properly on the tank and filler neck, if the hose is too low (there should be a wear line) then the hose clamp with taper and walk off
