Guys, need tips for a quick question!?

I just got my k&n drop-in air filter. It took me 30mins already but I still cannot get the job done!!! I guess this is the dumbest question come to board to ask and shame on me cannot get it done and ask for help. BUT I just cannot reinstall the air cover back and tighten the two bolts!!! ANY tips??

There are tabs that need to be 'seated' on the engine side of the cover. I found that if you tilt the cover towards the engine to seat the tabs, the thing slides right in.

Well, at least I know the I mean...Sorry.

Thanks devnull, with the original air filter I have no problem seat the tabs back, but with k&N, that air cover just wouldn't slides in.
I am sure I got the right one for my cls!!!
