put one of the pins in it then press hard on the other side and the plastic will bend out some and it should then slide in. It can be apain int eh but and if your using a screwdriver to assit for some reason try not stab yourself.

I ended up actually listening to my wife and used a hair dryer to soften the plastic and they went together like biscuits and gravy!
