I pressed it together and then just popped the clip on with silicone. Still don't like it...

At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter how you get the clip on, as long as it locks into the detents on the pins. A press makes it easier to not bugger the clip up (bad), but if you're careful, vise grips will work ok-ish.

If you want to go whole hog, you can safety wire the clip in place, and then RTV it (SOP in some vintage race orgs, and a huge PITA).
