Refitting n/s drivershaft - Interference (ph1)

Car  Ph1 172
Hi

Im in the process of rebuilding the front drivetrain but have hit a problem with the n/s driveshaft. When shaft is not in place, the gearbox turns freely. Theres isnt an issue putting the shaft back into the box nor when theres no pressure on the shaft. However, when both hub-to-strut bolts are refitted, theres too much inward force on the shaft and it stops rotating.

Nothing is obstructing the shaft's path, so Im unsure what could be locking it in position.

Any ideas?
