Jackup the car and remove the wheel if you prefer. Grab the strut with your hand and align it with the holes. Then simply screw the screws on. VERY IMPORTANT don't forget to use jack stands :yesnod .

so it turned out I had to jack up both side of the car in order to take out the pressure on the struts assembly... I was following racingline's instruction and only jack up one side of my car lol...
guess sleeping helps, I actually dream up the solution hhaha
