Default Glove box removal and installation

I've gotten the glove box out of my STR.
But I am having a hell of a time getting in back in. Is there a trick to it that anyone cares to share?

Mine came out and went back easily so I'm puzzled what the trouble is.

I cant seem to get it to line up and get the screws in. The whole thing tries to fall off before I can do anything with it.

LMAO. I found the trick. I used zip ties through the bottom bolt holes to hold the bottom in place while I put the top screws in. Then I removed each zip tie and replaced it with a bolt. Definitely not a one person job without utilizing some creative thinking.. geesh
