You must fully retract the plunger of the ACCT before you install it. You should be able to remove the end cap, and insert a screwdriver inside the ACCT. Turning the screwdriver clockwise will retract the plunger. While keeping the plunger retracted, install the ACCT. Tighten the mounting bolts, and only then release the plunger. Finally, you can re-install the endcap on the ACCT. Technically, the engine should be at TDC when you install the ACCT.
After you properly install the ACCT, you should check the valve clearances. Do you have a manual for your bike? Do you know where the alignment mark for the cam sprocket is located on the cylinder head? Please post some closeup photographs of the cam sprocket and the cylinder head.
