There should be two tabs that position the clip onto the caliper, they don't really grip as much as potion it so spring tension is applied to the pin.

If you can't figure it out, you've probably got one of the tabs broken off. I did when I took mine apart to rebuild them. Had to order new ones.

Front clip or rear??  Take a look at one of the other calipers on the bike to see how they go in there, I have scratched my head over the same problem.

A camera shot BEFORE DURING and AFTER disassembly really helps. IF you have not broken a tab it really ONLY goes together one way. I KNOW I KNOW-really not much help am I??  2funny RIDE SAFE.
