Could someone confirm this is the correct trim clip?

I'm confirming that clip #7 is inside the trim as depicted in my pic. I have the old trim in my hand. I had to use a lot of force to pry it off the trim with a screw driver, therefore I believe that clip is still inside your trim. When I installed the new trim, I had a similar problem as you. This was resolved by tapping in the trim on the other end (side mirror side) with a rubber mallet (be gentle!). Once it was in nicely, I just pushed it down firmly beginning from the side mirror end and coming back towards the part with the clip. You're going to tap in from the clip-end to make sure the mirror-end is pushed in all the way.

Thank you very much for the info.
