I assume you're talking about the white plastic incomplete circle clip thingy ( this - http://www.gapswater.co.uk/acatalog/4--retaining-clip-1701.html ).  If it doesn't want to go in easily then the RO end piece is not in far enough.  Shouldn't take any force at all, so I guess the end section might not be far enough in.  Give it a tap with a soft mallet (or a normal hammer but with a block of wood between the hammer and the RO end cap)
