Thanks for your suggestion. I can try that. But, based on how members here describe the process, and watching some videos, it just seems like it should not be that difficult, or take that much effort to drive it in.
It does look pretty bad at the outside edges, though. I'll clean/smooth it up and try again.
QUESTION: would a hydraulic press or a threaded shaft/nut tightening method be a better way to go? Or will I encounter similar issues if the race seat is not smooth/even?

I use a brass drift and just tap the outside edges and keep it as straight and level as possible till it seats. With the scratches on the seal seat and that, it looks like a gorilla worked on it before!
