I just pulled and replaced the front struts and mounts to my SUV. I just started putting back into place and found that the CV axle does not push back up to allow the top alignment of bolt to mount struts back into their respected place. Please someone let me know how to release tension or pressure to allow the bolt pattern to line up. Thanks

Sounds like you pulled the tripod out of the inboard C/V joint. You may be able to get it back into place but it is more likely you will need a new axle now. You are not supposed to pull on that back joint.
