How to align or joint a hex nut or bolt in a hex cutout/hole?

Hello to all Fusion wizards 😊,

As >edit: NOT< visible from my screencast, I jointed the hex nut and the bottom of the hole together. Now I want to also align the hex surfaces to each other.
Is this possible and how? 
(The hole is slightly wider as the nut, so the surfaces can't be used.)

Thanks in advance.

Hi Günther,
Thanks for the hint, I missed the "Insert" after selecting the screencast 😐But I can't edit my message, because I get an error message that some html content has to be removed from my post after I inserted the screencast. 
Do you have an idea what's going on? Is this a forum bug?

Update: Apparently it's a bug with the screencasts. I can't even post it in a reply! So I just put in an image...

Hi,

Embedding a  screencast is unfortunately a long known problem.
Please create a link  (chain symbol) to the screencast.

In the timeline before the joint, add a joint origin.

 

A joint origin has the option to reorientate its axis.

Then use the joint origin as the snap point in the joint.

Thank you for your suggestions.
By looking deeper into the joint options, I found out it can be done with the mode "Between two faces" which basically is @HughesTooling 's idea, but a little easier to realize.
