This has been covered several times in the last couple of months.
A search might turn up several solutions.

or

Can you atttach your assembly here ( or a simple representative assembly)?

I did a search and found inhancement requests but no easy solutions. I just changed the peg to a cylinder and that will work for application.

 

Thanks

Make sure your square peg is constrain center to it's orgin planes. Then you can mate your square peg orgin axis to the hole.

There are a few methods for this discussed at this link (see video):

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,

....of course your problem description was the reverse - square peg in round hole, but the ideas are the same.

The solutions are quite trivially easy.

Attach your assembly here (with the square or rectangular  or whatever shape (except cylinder)peg).
