Default ? about installing the spring clip on the front brake caliper?...

Is there a trick to getting this on correctly? In the manual it says to put both ends in the holes, then pull it down over the caliper carrier. I can't get both ends in and do that, I have to do one side at a time. Will this cause problems? I know if you don't tighten the lugs correctly, the rotor can get cocked. I was wondering if the same thing would happen here...

Install the bottom end and use pliers to pop the top in
