FLOORING help needed

In the past I have lifted up on one and pushed down on the other, then bump it at the hall to BR gap. real pain in the butt.

They make a little “T” shaped molding that I have seen used in such instances (that’s what I did and it works fine). Another route would be to trim the male side of the joint so you can get it to lie flush without having to lift it.

lift up the locked planks in the bathroom, lock in that last board, then carefully bend them down to where it slides under the door frame.

So take it out from under the door frame and try again?

A flooring pull bar would take care of that w quickness

Yes. Then after the boards are locked bend bend them enough to where you can get it under the door frame.

As others have said. You should be able to get the plank to the left up and lock this one on then essentially lay both down together letting it slide under the jamb. That or get the end in the doorway locked on as best you can and then use a pull bar on the end against the little wall to pull that end in. I just laid my entire house in LVP and I couldn't have done some of the ends without the pull bar. Sometimes you have to get a little aggressive specially in situations like this where you can't get the angle you need to lock them together easily.

If all that fails. I would remove the door molding in the picture. Trim plank where its not under the wall where and you can lift it to the angle you need to lock it in. After that, reinstall the door trim. That, the baseboard/quarter round, and the T mold should cover all gaps.
