How to reinstall headlight rings?

Hi guys,
Newbie here. First i want to say this is the best mini forum. I am a new mini owner (about a month) and I've done a few mods by just coming on here for gudesso thank you all for all the great instructions.
But now to the needy greedy. So far there's a lot of guide on how to remove your headlight rings. My delima though is how to get them back on. I was able to remove the rings no problem, but now trying to put/snap them back on seems impossible. Any help or advice will help please. What am I not doing? Or what am I doing wrong? Please advise. Thanks guys.

Slide the biggest tabs on first, then gently press the others on.
