09 Se Spark Plug

09 se, 29500 on the clock, have been having misfire issue for week or so and decided to change plugs, last done at 15k by previous owner.
Removing first one was a pain to get at even with tank out of the way. looked blackish so yep change. tried to get new plug in place but so difficult with ai in place, 'may' have cross threaded not sure but it looks wrong angle too and cant get past couple of turns. is there an easier way to put plugs in properly?
