Back to putting the softbox on the AB's I usually do it by turning the flash to face upwards. Then the softbox can be cradled in both hands and dropped down onto the head. I grant you it's rather like a juggling act to squeeze the retaining handles and maneuver the SB into place, but I find this a very convenient way to do the dirty deed. Frankly, I avoid the issue whenever possible.
