OK, just got back from the test drive! All systems go. Tested bumps, twistys, and did a proper smokey burnout.
So I ended up having my 15 year old son help. 2 people does save time by having eyes on both sides of the bolt hole! But in the end its still pure luck.
I used the suggestion of using a socket extension. This helps guide you as to how far off you are. I couldn't do much with it though and went back to the screwdriver.
We jacked up the LCA and the disc about a hundred times in a thousand different combinations and angles. After about another hour it literally just jumps into the correct position on its own...like it finally finds home! And thats what my drivers side did right off the bat. And it stays in the right place.
So keep moving it around until you want to murder a puppy...then give it another hour...you'll get there.
Yep, first time my son saw me cry. True story.
