Honwave ali floor - tips on fitting the bow board

Hi there
Any top tips on fitting the last bow floor section of a Honwave 3.5M?
Working from the transom end of the boat. the side runners and ali boards fit together pretty easily.
The last bow board is a real bugger to get the tongue and groove located - any simple suggestions please.

I recently bought a 4.0m honwave ali floor too.. There a pain in the backside to put together! So im now looking for a trailer so i dont have to infalte, deflate, pack, repack unpack.. But regarding the bow piece, that should be the first piece of flooring you put in, so should go in pretty easily. The hardest part i found was fitting the side runners in place as they are really tight down near the transom onces all the floors in it, but maybe i just need some practice
