Default Driver side moulding clips help

First, I have to say this forum is absolutely the best.

Second, my driver side door panel is loose at the bottom. Enough that I can pull apart the panel and see these little blue clips that are supposed to keep the door and the panel together. I can see some of them are broken. After some research I've concluded I need to replace the clips. I've found some on Amazon but wanted to verify they are correct. I assume I use some needle nose pliers, pull out the old ones, put in the new clips, and press the door and panel together to engage the clips?

Posted two pics. First is what it looks inside the panel/door with the clip. Second is the replacement product at Amazon.
