The secret is that you don't try.
You put one leg into one holder, then the top of the loop into the latch, then the other leg into the other holder.
Even at that, the OEM retainer is somewhat deformed, but it works.
I ordered a new set of retainer springs ( for a SAAB ) that are made kinda square, haven't tried them yet.

BTW, don't even THINK of trying this with the headlight assembly in the car
