Make sure to lean it in so the top of the carrier goes under that metal lip in the door itself. If you look inside real close, you can see it. I struggled with this for an hour before I figured out my blunder.

Hmmm. I will have to look into this. Everything seemed to point to something not being right on the inside, but I couldn't see anything.

Was this on your rear doors? How did you see it?

Right rear just like yours. I actually had to lay down on the floor and look up the void on the inner side of the door with a flashlight. Then I reached my hand up there and felt it and mumbled under my breath "frickin amateur"...
Tilted the top of the carrier under the lip and it went right in.

I think you might be on to something here.
