Is this not a continuation of your earlier question about SII front lights..?

I thought ManyMinors gave a quite detailed and illustrated explanation on that page.

He did. Maybe the OP's replacements are inferior quality, as was suggested as a possible reason at the time.....
It may be necessary to prise the rubber away to get the lamp cover to clip into the holder and then go round easing the rubber over its lip.

Thank you all! These are brand new replacement parts from esm. There was a slight excessive pressure at the prongs inside the holder had to prise them just a little and job done. You always have to make sure it fits before it's installed to make sure it fits when installed. Lesson learnt... for the next few days....😁
