Default getting that prop nut tight

I'm getting frustrated trying to tighten the nuts on the output shaft on my engines. Everytime I apply pressure on the nut, with the prop aligned properly on the spinner, the backplate for the spinner shifts, and I can't get the cone on. I have a cowl on the airplane, so I can't get pressure on that piece(sorry, I dont know what it's called) behind that backplate. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
