It's tapered and is designed to go on one way...wrong way and you'll crack it or just never get it on far enough. Use calipers to figure out which end is what.

It would only go on one way the other way it wouldn’t even start to go on, so I know I have it the correct way

What model/ year bike and which SnS race? Stock tranny? If it's not going on with the right tools you probably don't have the right one.. The fit should be abou 1/2 to 1 thou interference. One sleeve is about 0.008 smaller than the other. It won't go on.
