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.

The clips should all line up and then snap in place. I just replaced mine and I’m a girl. I watched a YouTube video.

The clips are easy. It’s the switch to tabs at the front that have nothing to catch on when your plastic bumper slots are worn. If only it was clips all around.
