Alternatively remove the grill completely and align all the clips and push the bottom ones in first then the headlight one and then the top ones.
Eventually got there mate, it was pretty much what you said, the bottom sort of flexed while the top clicked in meaning the bottom hadn't gone in. Started from scratch took my time and boom fixed!!

I had a look around the engine bay and it looks to have gone fingers crossed.

Yeah getting the first one out was a pain in the hoop haha

Didn't experience any issues removing or replacing the screws.

Probably just lucky... now I'll never make it into the AOotTCH

Bonnet overlaps the bumper and you're only going fast in a forward direction so you should be OK
Showwww offff haha!!
