!HELP! installing m3 steering wheel, cant get airbag back in properly???

Like title says ive already gone through the ENTIRE install process, and Im at the LAST step where you need to re-insert the sport airbag. I just simply line up the air bag and the two clip ( the ones hidden behind steering wheel) clip into place, BUT

the problem im running into is the clips are in, but the steering wheel is still 1/2 inch out of the steering wheel, and its CLEARLY not secure.

Is there some step im forgetting? Is there a trick to get the air-bag to clip back in properly? I tried to make sure there are no wires or anything in the way, but Im not exactly sure if you have to do something specific, because all the DIY's say NOTHING about reinstalling the air bag.

I know the two hidden clips are in because i cant get the airbag back out without having to pop the two hidden clips.

Thanks in advance, my car is still sitting with the battery disconnected, waiting to get this buttoned up
