You could heat up the headlight housing just enough so it shapes to the railing system & locking mechanism. Careful not to melt it but it would need to be very hot to work. You can't force anything when the unit is hot, but you can pry with medium force just so it learn and adjust itself to the railing system. When cool down, give it a good go in locking position.

My only concern with this approach is you may not be able to remove it if locked when HOT... hence why I recommend a cool down before slamming it in place.
No, sadly, I do not own a heat gun. Then again, why should I go thru this much trouble?
Even if it was feasible I don't think it's my responsibility to go thru this many measures (that are actually destroying the piece) in order to make it work.
I tried filing it, and it would not lock still. I just email Jeff for my money back.
