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.
