They just pressed in for us, with a bit of force. A rubber mallet is a good tool to help persuade them. Make sure your 6 bolt pattern is lined up before you really get them seated all the way. You can put a bolt or two in to help keep them on track. I'd highly recommend taking a 1/2" hex shaft and make sure you can slide it through both sides of the versahub just as a test. Here's some clarification, let me know if you were asking about something else though.

It's definitely a tight fit but so far we've only seen some minor rubbing from our non low-profile nuts and bolts on the center wheel stack up. Once we switch to the correct hardware everything should clear completely. We ordered both the 1/2" and 1/4" spacer versions of the sprocket attachment versahubs and used the 1/2" version on the sides that includes the valve stem. On the outside wheels we just always made sure to flip the wheel so that the valve stem was pointing to the area with the most clearance.
The middle wheel is a bit of a challenge. The valve stem cap barely rubs on the chain, we're looking at different caps or a way to just keep the valve stem slightly out of the way.
Our team usually ends up packaging tight drive rails to free up more space on the inside. It means a little tighter work space if something goes wrong with the drive train but we've gotten pretty good at handling those situations.
