Default left side cover

Is there some magic word to help to put the left side cover on? I recently got a painted side cover. It came with a rubber grommet for the bottom slot(the one that attaches to the battery tray. Now with the grommet it's hard to put the cover back on. Without the grommet it'll scratch the paint. Any suggestions?

Be thankful you have that problem, the tighter the better. Dozens of people here have had there battery covers fall off while riding down the road.

I removed the grommet and it snapped in just fine.
