Wish I had seen this before doing this exact swap last weekend! I had such trouble with the fasteners that connect the wheel well arch and the front bumper. Ended up breaking the fastener, and splitting the two rings that the fastener keeps together (one on the wheel well and one on the front bumper). Took me 4 hours to complete the whole process including a 30 minute round trip to the dealer for replacement fasteners.

Sorry you had problems. Was there anything from your experience that we didn't cover in the video?
