hi guys, im new to this thread and the forum. i'm about half done with replacing the passenger door carrier. have any of you guys with the aftermarket carriers experienced any play with the ball socket, where it goes into the lock latch? im pressing quite hard and it hasnt "popped in" it is just sitting on top of the ball.
is it just suppose to be like this where it is loose or should i apply more force? i afraid to break the latch where the ball is located.

thanks for all help and apologies if this is some sort of thread jacking? newb here.
