Otherwise, you get an answer like Damprobot said. Play with it until it fits. Switch off and on different constraints to get a feel for where things want/need to be. It's an iterative process for sure.

It's also sometimes nice to save the sketch you have, and give it to many people on the team. Tell them "make it fit", even if no one solves it, their iterations may inspire the eventual solution.
Sorry for not posting any pictures of my model. I was unable to at the moment, but we figured it out now, so there aren't any problems. When our CAD is mostly done, I'll post a picture.
