post pics!

They should just snap in, make sure nothing is in the way of the clip that snaps on the engine...

There is a valve with a green cap in one of the fuel lines. I had the same problem and got fed up so I sold the covers. Try rotating it. When I removed them I saw what was preventing the front clip from snapping in. There is also a EGR hose in the back going into a metal pipe that you can bend. Put wire loom over the fuel lines and they will look nice. Good luck.
