Why can't someone design a correct appearing hood pad clip that one can actually install??

Between the ill-fitting molded hood pad, and the clips that are impossible to seat correctly, geez... Why does this have to be so difficult? I ain't removing the hood either... Although it might be easier!

I think I'm gonna use the later model plastic ones... sorry judges!

Anybody got a suggestion?

BTW working on a '69 'Runner...

Thanks
