Default need help installing seat backs

I'm trying to install the new seats onto the plastic back, but am getting really frustrated.
I can see where the clips on the seat back hook on to the seat foam, but I can't seem to get them to snap together. Is there a trick to this, or do I need to keep trying....
Thanks.

Hi,
I ended up just prying the clips on the seat frame back out just a little wider after screwing with them for 15 minutes one day.Then the backs were easier to slip under them. Probably not the best advice but it worked for me.
