Thanks loansinpa! I understand exactly what you are saying but I tried for more than 2 hours and they simply won't fit in the sockets. As you know, they need to be pushed in far enough before you can turn and lock them in - this is where the problem is - they just can't be pushed in far enough so that all 3 tabs make it through the slots. One side always ends up out too far either on the top or the bottom. Snug is one thing, but this is much more than snug...
