Hello PhilippL!

I tried your way, but it didn't work. But don't worry, it is possible. Make a new portal (dont put any ender eyes yet) and dig down two blocks in the 3x3 space (where you put your lava). No lava is needed, btw. After digging, you have to fly in to the middle and then place your ender eyes. Since their position is important and they behave a bit like Pistons (they point towards you when placing), all the eyes should be pointing to the middle.

Like this:

Arrows=the direction of ender eyes

X=Two blocks deep

v v v

I will try to post a snapshot, if I can.
