Thanks in advamnce for any help

Use adjustible pliers to squeeze the two sides of the clip together. Those are the type plumbers use. You can adjust the angle in which the claws grab the clip. When you squeeze the clip together, it should just snap in.

If you must use regular pliers, the angle on which the claws contact the clip causes the pliers to slip off and it doesn't work.
