Can't figure out how to grease u-joints - '93 Ford E350

I had new u-joints installed last summer on my Class C Ford E350 and I went to grease them and can't get to 3 out of the four (only one I coulod reach was the front). c I bought a new 'right angle' connector and still can't connect to the zerk fitting...

Is this an installation problem? Can't figure out why they would make serviceable u-joints with zerks that you can't reach and "service"...

Any thoughts?
Class C

    Company that made U joints probably isn't the same as who made the driveline yokes.
    As mentioned, you may need to rotate the driveline so there is some angle to the U joints, which will provide clearance to get the grease gun in.

    It could be simply a rotation problem. Block wheels a few inches, roll rig slightly to get fittings to an accessible locatiom
