At my wits end- drivers side door clips wont hold

[04CustomLesabre]

Hello everyone. I recently bought an 04 lesabre custom for $800, and safe to say it has some issues. Anyways, the window regulators in the front were on my list, and i finally got around to doing them today, and i read that the door clips notoriously break so i ordered some just to have handy. I replaced the regulator and as expected, some of the door clips were broken, so i replaced all of them, but now i’m having an odd issue where the new door clip on the top left of the door panel won’t hold the door panel down firm, no matter how hard I push. Every other clip seems to hold fine, with the exception of this one. If anyone has any advice on the matter, i’d greatly appreciate it. Below is an attached video

I always had to put the door panel back on by doing the top part first and the bottom part second. I had to put it on at the top at a steep angle many times until it was perfect and would stay on the metal lip area. But then again, I was and am missing some of the clips too, but mine stays put.

Go to 9 min 58 seconds to see the metal lip I am speaking about and the seconds later how he focuses on that area and then top first bottom second.
