I've pressed in a few Works Component headsets. I've never had one go in right the first time. My usual process is:
1. Mark Centre on headtube
2. Line up cup
3. Press in
4. Note how far off the cup has moved \[they tend to rotate\]
5. Smash out
6. Re-position off centre enough to account for rotation
7. Press in
8. If close enough leave it. If not close enough repeated \#5-\#7 until it is
My worst cup install was 3 tries I think. I'm not shooting for "perfect". Working in aerospace manufacturing made me appreciate nothing is "perfect" so I just ask myself is it good enough?
Once installed I haven't had any issues with a WC headset. I wouldn't worry about the process too much, but I would give yourself some extra time vs. a normal headset.
