Problem with headlight replacement

OK guys, I need some tips.

I got the tabs pulled up and popped the assembly out. Replaced the bulb and ready to re-install assembly.

Problem -- I can't seem to get all the screws to line up right to push the assembly back in. Since they pivot around, I get two in good, or one in, but can't seem to get all three to line up correctly. Don't want to "jam" it back in.

Is there some tip to this aligning problem?

In 30 years of replacing bulbs, I've never had this much trouble. What's the secret?

Thanks.

Carefully line up and be sure the bulb cable does not get out of place.
If it was in place before, it will go back.
I had a small amount of trouble. It was me!

OK, i got er done. Looks like I wasn't paying attention. Didn't notice the clips slide on rails into the input holes. Guess thats what happens when you work at night with a flashlight in your mouth.

You were right, Blue, it WAS me.
