Many actions have a capstan at the top to hold the action down during shipping. I am not familiar with new M&H actions, so I don't know if it has one of these capstans. It is more common on Asian pianos. If it has a capstan, perhaps it got rotated slightly after the action was removed, preventing you from sliding it back in. Just a guess.
