It should slide right over. You might need a screwdriver to help it along a little.

Its not uncommon to have a pump with a small twist or lean to it. If you cant get the fasteners to line up and rotating the top does not work you can try a couple of things. First I would try getting two or three of the fasteners started, then use a prying device to try to align the other holes. If that does not work, I would try loosening up the side sheetmetal and the frame rail mounts and see if you can wiggle the pump to fit the top. You could also try carefully to put a small twist into the top.
