Hi y'all, trying to rotate a piston to upside down to make a metal press using the Immersive Engineering modpack in Stoneblock 4. Having a difficult time with the piston, unable to rotate it upside down to complete the build. Whenever I place it and hit it with the Engineering Hammer it just rotates it in a circle. Hitting from a different angle doesn't move it at all (or at least hitting it from the top doesn't.). Can't find an angle that it rotates down and placing it up makes the engineering hammer not visibly rotate it at all. I have done this before in a separate modpack (Divine Journey 2), so I am unsure what I am doing wrong at this point.
(I also realize that I don't have conveyor belts on the machine, removed them when trying to reposition the piston).
Is there something obvious I'm missing at this point? Thanks for any help!

Yeah, you’re rotating it on the Y axis, meaning it does fuck all standing up or facing down.
Fig a hole 1 block doen next to the middle and place the piston on the heavy engineering block. It sucks, but that’s life.
If you dont have quark rotation lock (press K to check) you’ll want to dig a one block deep hole right by the red block so you can be looking up when you place the piston.Â

Doesn’t it have to extend and then rotate?
