take it back off and refit, i had the same problem with my jom valance, you can fit 99 percent if they aren't on square.

Took a few attempts on mine to get it 100 percent

not sure if you did it this way but clip the corners in first and then clip in the rest of the valence

no you should be able to clip in one side and then the other

then clip in the rest, working alternate sides - i.e couple of clips on the left and then a couple on the right until you reach the middle
