I usually put the little one in first as it helps pull it down, then I use a lever bar to push the arb down to get the bolt through

Sure the ARB bushes are in the groove? If so, big g-clamp...

Pretty sure ye, The little one and p bush goes down fine its the clamp over the ARB bust that wont go down. The gap in the bush goes to the front correct?

I would estimate that your clamp is not fully engaged in its subframe slot, and you're trying to bend it instead of move it to position.
I usually do the long bolt first as there is play in everything then.

I did it by putting small bolt in then getting sissor jack under the ball joint wind it up and it drops the p bush down at the back so you dont have to try and push it down

There are no wheels on the car or suspension
I fitted the coilover to one side to make sure it fit as it was from a 206 then removed it so its stood on stands atm with nothing in the arches
