These--well, similar--have come in handy quite a few times for me:

*However, I think something else might be at play if the hub comes to a
hard stop.

<div style="color:black;font: 10pt arial;">I had a similar
difficulty. Since it would go part way on I concluded that the
either the splines on the shaft or in the hub or both were the
issue. I used a very small triangular file, available in some
hobby stores, and spent some time "cleaning" both the shaft
& the hub splines until I got them to slide together
smoothly. The file needs to be tapered to a very fine point
& I recall using only the tip portion to be sure I was not
rounding off the top/tip of the splines. Clean the filings out
periodically & test the fit.
