You have to score from the close side of the TRUSS. I don't remember exactly what rule this is, but it is there.

It's in section 3.1.4:

A BALL is considered SCORED in an ALLIANCE’S GOAL if
A) a ROBOT causes one (1) of their ALLIANCE’S BALLS to cross completely through the opening(s) of one (1) of their ALLIANCE’S GOALS without intervening human contact,
B) the ALLIANCE ROBOT last in contact with the BALL was entirely between the TRUSS and their ALLIANCE’S HIGH GOALS, and
C) the BALL is not in contact with any ROBOT from that ALLIANCE.
