Put a jack under the tire and jack up slowly. The carrier will slide over the strut rather easily. Then secure with the bolt once properly aligned.

Don't put weight on the axles without fitting the traingular plate, btw. Fit it before dropping it. Use ratchets if needed to adjust the alignment of the bolts. The uprights are fragile and don't tolerate the outward stretch that they're subjected to when that plate is removed and the axle is loaded.
