Oh yeah! This fitting is a real SOB to get together! I did this same job just the other day. I used a wooden pry-bar (read "stick") with another long screwdriver and a lot of force and some very choice words to get that mother to snap into it's lodging. It does fit. You have to get the right angle and a fair amount of pressure and it will snap into place. Then you get to try to mate the screw with the hole in the support bracket. I ended up stripping the original bolt but remedied the situation with a ¼" tap and a standard ¼" bolt afterwards. Don't give up. There is hope!
