Put the lens on your right index finger, with the center of the convex side resting on the tip of your finger. Position your right middle or ring finger (whichever is most comfortable) just below your eye and pull down. Position your left index finger on your eyelid just above the lashes and pull up. At this point, you should be able to move your right index finger plus lens directly toward your eye pretty easily until you get the contact into your eye. Just try not to blink as you're moving the contact in.
It might be that you're having trouble getting over the initial flinch reaction of seeing your finger come toward your eye, and catching the contact on your lid/lashes as you blink reflexively? I'm not sure. It's been almost 15 years since I learned to put contacts in, and even after a 3 year break from wearing them I hadn't lost the skill of putting them in.
