One appears original, one I bought from Zip. I've put lots of ***** and handles on gm doors, but these do not seem to fit and I simply can't get the clip over the splined shaft without damage!

I can't be alone.

FWIW: post and **** have flats on them. You have to align the flats.

Try installing them without the clips in them first. It does take a bit of aligning like easymike said.
