Interior Lamp Cover won't reattach

I removed the cover for the interior lights (overhead/map) and am unable to reattach it. I was extremely careful when I removed this cover, but I guess it is possible I broke a tab. I closely inspected it under a magnifying glass and it doesn't look like anything has broken off.

Is there a trick I need to know about to get it reattached (assuming this cover is completely intact)?

If it turns out I need to get a new one does anyone know what the part number is? I searched realOEM but I couldn't see this listed, at least as a separate part.

I had the same problem you just need to press on each tab firmly, once you get one in the others are easier, mine took a decent amount on finger force haha push directly on the tab from the outside

OK, just took your advice and got it reattached. Surprising how much brute force it took to get it back on.

There is so much fragile plastic on these cars.....it pays to be careful.

Thanks
