Hi. Welcome to the forum.

Do you have any pics as I don't think I've done the clip but I can't be sure.

Persistance unfortunately. It should just slip in though. Make sure the barrel is positioned correctly though

Insert it upside down, instead of a 'n' make it a 'u'

As John says, insert it from below. It is also easier to fit, if the lever in the diagram is not attached to the door lock until you fit the clip!
