Bolt covers on passenger side grab handle won't reseat

So I replaced the factory tweeters on my 2019 TRD OR with the Subaru tweeters, and upon getting the passenger side A-pillar trim piece rebolted, I can't for the life of me get the two plastic cover pieces to reseat over the bolt holes on the grab handle. Anyone else have this issue and find a solution for it? I don't think I bent the small clips on them but it just doesn't want to stay. I hate to have to take it into the dealership and waste half a day for this.

 

Several people on here have, if my memory serves me I think I had to straighten out the little tabs on it and then it snapped back in.

 

Thanks. I tried bending them back a bit with no luck, but I'll see if I can maybe straighten them a bit with some pliers.
