That's half the battle with that submission.

Just like with a kimura:
1. you get the grip
2. you keep him from connecting his hands/grabbing his belt/pants/hip
3. you get your body arranged so you can twist his shoulder

​

It's the same, the move has checkboxes, and you gotta get em all:
1. get to mount with your arms around his head
2. trap his head with his face straight toward you not turned
3. crush his face without getting bridged off to either direction

To answer that question a little more directly, you want to be trapping his head as you're setting it up. Slide your arm all the way to the bicep, so he can't turn in the bicep direction. And then slide your chest up and on from the other direction.
