Default Having trouble installing door lock ***** on my 1963 Corvette

Hello,
I'm trying to install the door lock ***** on my 1963 Corvette and i can't get them to attach to the locking assembly. I installed new door panels and i tried to push them on but they don't seem to reach the lock. Do i need to modify the door panel? I know the back of the panel is metal. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Mine were hard to get on, too. I kept pushing until they snapped on. Everything ended up OK.
