I just purchased and installed a set of 4 last week. Snapped right in with a bit of assistance from the back side and of course a few “taps” to flatten out the front bearing caps.
Not going to say they are the heartiest clips I have ever seen, but holding firm.
Sorry about your dilemma. I wish I had some secret to pass along.
My 17s are the very first production run back several years. Maybe they have changed how they make them?
