Fixing front number plate to bumper

Hi everyone,

This is about the front plate on my 996. European style not USA, ok! :)

The front plate fell off (fortunately at work) and I wanted to solve this by getting a new plate... the current one is 10 years old anyway and tatty. The dealer printed a new plate (12GBP) and provided new screws and end caps (88 pence!). The bracket is new enough. But they didn't have replacements for the nylon clips that fix the bracket to the bumper.

Last night I drilled the plate and mounted it. But here's the problem - the bracket just won't stay on the car.

How is the bracket supposed to stay locked inside the two square holes on the front bumper? The white plastic part on the left of this photo doesn't click home. What am I doing wrong? :(
