No need to align the knurls. I slip the lug in until the knurled part contacts the back of the hub, thread an acorn lug nut turned backwards (flat side towards hub), then tighten the nut to pull the stud into the hub. Check the backside to make sure the stud pulls flush to the hub.

Doing that many studs at one time you may want to get a wheel stud installer. Or you can make one if you have a small old bearing laying around.
