Also happened to be new mevotech TTX upper ball joint day.
Not to much hassle, the captured studs are either way to precise or not precise enough. They needed some hammering in. They fit they’re own ball joint fine of course but were just ever so slightly off in the control arm.
I ended up getting them started in the arm, then holding the ball joint with one hand and smacking the plate with a hammer. Only other small issue was, one of the joints had a tiny burr on the thread causing the nut grab and spin the joint. Luckily Mevotech put a slot in the end that a screw driver or pry bar fits into.
