aha the link worked. you will see the springclip hangs well below where I think it should be

 

That's not right, but I'm not sure what to tell you to do.

yeah , after reading thisthread I am beginning to think that this is the problem , when I put on shield the spring is forced down below the bolt ... gets back to my original thought that this came out of the wrong parts bin, so off to the dealer next opportunity.
thanks to all for input. grzly

 

it looks like the clips are installed upside down
