Default Difficulty putting the filter cover back on!

Why is it I always seem to have problems with what should be the easy stuff?!

Decided to do the cabin air filter replacement on my SRT-6 today, only to discover I have no protective cover under the passenger side dash. Looks like a previous owner decided it was pointless and left it off of the car.

Well, at least that makes the filter replacement job that much easier, right? Heh.... not so much. I got the old filter out just fine (along with a small pile of leaves and such), and slid in the replacement charcoal filter I bought from Amazon.

Problem is, I can't get the filter cover back on properly! I guess much of the difficulty stems from having to do all of this while I'm lying under it, in an uncomfortable position. But I can't seem to get the sliding plastic catches to slide back over the channels to lock the cover in place! Gave up in frustration for now, before I break something. Will go back out in a few minutes and make another attempt.
