if I recal there and long plastic things in the back (depending on the model) they curve a bit so they are supposed to go into the slots (depending on year) and also in the middle arennt there also round holes on the mirror housing on the roundish white plastic that metal or magnets are supposed to clip into

It takes more force and proper alignment than one might expect. Must press on all four corners simultaneously.

Ya its all about the alignment too . I am hearing the clicks but i feel that the side long plastic things are not fitting in properly any idea if they have to be behind or in front of the steel things and any suggestions how to know about the alignment
