Hey JP,
I just ran into a similar circumstance after rebuilding my carbs I attached the throttle cables before sliding in the carbs...but did not do the choke cable.  I suggest removing the seat and tank.  With a long thin screwdriver you can reach down and guide the end barrel of the cable around the slotted cam of the choke...and hold it in place (a helper would make it easier) then from the right side of the bike using a small flashlight and another long thin screwdriver (or pointed dental tool) wiggle the barrel into the slot and pull up on the cable when it's aligned, tighten the clamp temporarily and then adjust the choke.
In 1972 I had to make a choice...quit riding...or quit drinking.  God says it's safe to get back in the saddle now...at least I'm still alive...and feel more alive with the wind in my face!  Now riding "Helen Black"...1982  CB750SC.
