You need to line the handle hole up with the end of the handle. The panel with be forward of its final location. Then stick a finger through the hole and pull the end of the handle towards the panel hole. You should be able to just catch the lip of the handle on the outside lip of the hole. then just slide the panel in place. It will take a couple tries and you will most likely pinch your finger a little.

I use a long thin flat blade screwdriver to get the handle to pop through the hole. My fingers just won't get in there. It does take some patience.
