You may feel it "drop" into a thread. At that point, see if it will screw in by hand, using light force.
That's my SOP since they are easy to cross thread.
Tried that many times, couldn't get it. Took the bike and BB to the LBS again on Saturday and they got it all fixed up for me for just $15! I think they gave me a discount since the guy said it was fine on Friday or something. I ain't complaining.

Really? I couldn't find very many reviews on them. I'm actually still hearing a single click sound at one point in the crank rotation, not nearly as bad as before, so I'm wondering if it's one of my pedals or something.
