Mg3 hybrid interior light assembly

[dualloop]

Hi,
I was trying to change the bulbs in my interior light and I stupidly removed the entire assembly and not the light cover.
I’ve now changed the bulbs but I cannot get the light assembly to slot back in fully.
It will slot in on the side facing the SOS button but not facing the interior mirror
It looks like two metal clips need to be pushed down on the other side but I have no idea how to do it
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Edit, a metal clip has now broken on one side so I need to find a replacement for that, does anyone know which one I need to get?

I found the easiest way on my previous MG was to fit the side nearest the mirror first and and then push the light unit towards the mirror and it normally spring in reference the metal clip MG will probably only sell you the complete light unit I'm not sure if the light unit is the same as the ZS if so there's quite a few advertised in breakers yards so you might be able to transfer the clip from a ZS light unit

I’ve managed to slot it in with the remaining clip and it seems to be ok but I would like to replace it as some of the plastic on it now has marks and I suspect it will rattle at higher speeds.
I’ve found the same type on Aliexpress but in white: Für SAIC MG RX5/ERX5 I6/EI6 I5/EI5 RX3 MG6/EMG6 ZS neue vordere Leselichtbaugruppe Originalfabrik 10219775 -PMC 10504328 -ASA - AliExpress 34
Does anyone know where I could get one in black?
