How to fit new wing mirror glass

As the title says. My wing mirror was hit by a passing car & it knocked out the glass. Got a replacement but can't get it to fit in securely.

As long as you've got the old one out ok, a firm push to engage the circular clip is all it should need.
 I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

The old glass was knocked clean out.

I'm having difficulty getting the new glass to stay on securely. It doesn't seem to be clicking into place.

Have you checked that the circular receiver in the housing isn't damaged, or that there aren't still remains of the old mounting in there?

Had a closer look at the back of the new glass. Seems like there's a piece thats snapped off. Not sure if it was me who did it or if it was already broken as the box it came in was previously opened & resealed with sellotape.

All sorted just took it back to the dealer I bought it from & swapped for a new one. Took less than 30secs to fit the thing.
