Question e550 spark plug change out

changing the plugs on my 08 e550. take the 2 coil bolts off and pull out the wire/boot. but putting them in I don't think the plug wire has popped onto the end of the spark plug. I cant push the coil in farther. can I take off the wire from the coil and push it onto the tip of the plug and then push the coil onto the wire without damaging anything?

That's what I did on my '08 SL55. Much easier to get everything firmly connected that way.
