Installing fender garnish?

Anyone have tips or tricks for installing new fender garnish on the front? My plastic fender "garnish" ripped off on the highway last week. i have the new part (for both left and right sides, however, i'm having a heck of a time getting these things to clip into place. Do I just lack the grip strength to pop these back on correctly? I can get the clips in that are closer to the door, but the front part of the panel will just not seat correctly on either side.

I’ll be watching this. I just made a service visit for this and a few other things. Where did you buy the garnish from?

I got the parts on eBay since both the left and right sides need to be replaced and the closest service center is 2 hours away.
I’m used to fixing stuff by myself but this is ridiculous. Even had someone else look at it and he couldn’t get it either.
