installing landing light lens

Is there a trick to getting the W-00014 lens to fit through the leading edge cutout for an RV-12iS landing light? I got a fairly good fit and trimmed the lens per drawing but am having difficulty getting the lens back into the wing once the landing light brackets are installed.

I have found it necessary to flex the lens a tad when inserting the lens into the wing.

Thanks, got it to fit. I was just being too timid with flexing the lens.
