This is because the valve groove and actuator are not exactly parallel. I couldn't get it to fit exactly while installing, so I aligned the bow to the butterfly valve first, then let the actuator "catch" it when it turns by starting the vehicle. Hope that helps anyone else that may come across this issue down the road.
Hey ad1f30,

You're have the right sides aligned. However, the valve groove and actuator will become parallel when the actuator turns.
I installed this clip with pliers. I turn the car on, put it in sports mode and when the actuator turns, the other side of the clip clicks in. It may take a few tries.
See attached photo for the proper installation.
