You might have bent the ears in when you were removing the old one. If you can muscle the clip in, even if the u joint feels tight, just run it, it will loosen up.

I've done it before with no problems. Will loosen up in the first few miles, you can move it by tapping it with a rubber mallet or pry bar to get it lined up for install. As long as you get the clips in.
