Front GMC Emblem Swap - how clip to in? Tips??

[BAD_GMC]

Good Evening,

 

I recently swapped my front GMC Emblem, and I’m having a difficult time getting some of the clips to clip in.  My main issue is the top part of the “C” as I’m unable to get my fingers on the back slide to apply pressure to help clip in.  Has anyone experienced this or have advice on how to clip in without removing the grille.  I appreciate any help -

I removed the upper plastic thing to get to the front of the radiator, which you can get to the back of the grill. I used a small wooden handle to apply pressure from the back side of the emblem, then I pushed from the front of the emblem to get it to click in. Since the plastic clip area for the emblem flexes a little bit, just need something to support the flexing. I did this trick all around the back side of the emblem area to make sure all the clips were in.
