Orion TrueTrack Motor Drive on EQ5 mount

I bought an Orion TrueTrack Dual-axis Motor Drive for my Skywatcher EQ5 mount. It arrived today, but the right ascension drive doesn't seem to fit into the EQ5. I bought it off Bintel where it says it can be used with this mount; does anyone know if it actually can?

Looks like I've put up another pointless thread! Resolved it with Bintel (who went to a lot of effort to work out how to fit it, excellent customer service) and it turns out the R.A drive needs something to prop up the right hand side so that it will engage with the gears properly; just putting that in for anyone who has the same problem in the future.
