Problems Installing HIDs

I have a GE8 and was able to find mounting points for the ballasts and install without taking the wheels off or bumper. Here's my problem though:

When I seat the bulb into the lamp it's flush but I can't get the retainer clip to hold. I'm assuming since the base of the bulb is a hair bit thicker than the stock metal, it's causing a problem.

Anyone have a solution to this? It's really frustrating.

the metal clip is flexible so you going to have to force it back to where is suppose to clamp back on.
