Default Rear valance reinstall

All I wanted was a rock. Somehow, someway a good 2" rock got into my rear valance area. I couldn't reach it and it was impossible. I had to take of the rear valance. I used Chevy Dude's youtube video (he's a dealer) to remove. It was easy. Reinstall... different story. It's all about the body panel connections. I cannot seem to get the top connector to "snap".
Anyone with experience on taking rear on/off ... help?

Disregard. Every clip is secure, every screw is secure. Everything lines up, but now I have a gap. Good news for me ... got that MF rock.
