Rear Bumper Bellow Clip Help

I'm replacing my rear bumper bellows and just noticed that there is a clip required and I'm not sure where it goes or how to install it.
There is one required per side.
The part number is 911-505-376-00 and here is the part on out host's site:

Any help is always appreciate and TIA!

It fits vertically inside the bellow and I suppose is designed to support the bellow and prevent the shape collapsing over time. They can be a bugger to push into place

It’s not so easy to describe but here goes. Hold the bellow in a vice or similar clamping arrangement by its top flange or get a friend with strong hands to hold it on a bench. Insert one end of the clip into its mounting hole. Using a pair of pliers with good grips take a very firm hold on the clip bend/manoeuvre it into place in the other mounting hole. It’s not easy as the clips are quite strong. Good luck

Insert it into the bellows while your entire bumper assembly is on the ground and the bellows is not pinched between the lower fender skirt and the bottom of the quarter panel/taillight assembly area.
Easy to do here as you can spread the bellows.
Difficult to do when its all on the car and you can't spread the bellows.
