What your trying to find is the period just before the lift plunger closes off the plunger housing to start squeezing the fuel towards the injectors.

Did you take out the element spring and plunger under the pump top element
before refitting the element ?

I would continue turning the engine towards TDC( And past, if necessary.) untill the flow stops (While someone pumps the lift pump for you.)
