Default Stuck, how do I get the XFR/XF 5.0 Super front anti rattle bracket back in

Working on putting on ceramic pads and I'm stumped. Can't seem to figure out how to get the anti rattle bracket back in. If I put the tabs in I can't fold the ears down and if I put the ears in first I can't get the tabs raised up enough to allow them to slide into place.

Put the tabs on first with the bottom tilted outward and use a small prybar to push the bottom into place. It may take a couple shots

I finally got it but I don't see how you can do it without messing up the finish. Now a little rest then will take it out to heat up and bed in the pads. Hope to have a review of the TRW Ceramic pads in the next couple days.
