how to secure the door panel clips ?

Hello,
Long time ago I changed my lock actuator for the Driver Side Door, and I was never able to properly put back the door together, it is still loose as none of the plastic tabs (clips) are secure.Door panel Clips and tried to replace the missing ones
but it is not clear how I am supposed to make it work, do I Slide it From Top to bottom ? or do I push it in and force them?
and which one type of I clips do I need to buy

the Diagram for the Real OEM is too messy, cant tell what clips I should buy and where is each one ?
https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=51_3820
according to the REALOEM there are two types of clips ?


No. Description Supp. Qty From Up To Part Number Price Notes
22 Clip with washer, natur WEIß X 51418224768 $0.69
23 Clip with seal ring GRAU 6 51418224781 $0.69

for the 23 ones it says 6 of them needed for but for the 22 it doesnt say how many I need. what does X mean for quantity ?

but I am supposed to just first mount them on the metal frame and then Push the Door in them to force them in or do I need to put them on the Door panel first and then Slide it to the Metal Frame?


I have seen plenty of videos ppl take off the Doors but yet I have not seen one that puts it back together, maybe nobody puts back together correctly and once you open it it will be loose forever??
