sideskirt issues PICS

Hey all, I noticed this last night been bothering me ever since. The driver skirt seems to not be set in properly..ie not flush, the pass is however, so something is clearly wrong here. I tried to click it down, but maybe the clips are backwards..? dunno, cant see the pass to compare since its all flush. First pic is how it looks normally, i pulled it out some to see the clips. At the ends of the skirt front and back it starts flush the middle is where is gets a gap like that.

You need to line them up correctly. Line up the front side into the little bracket and do the same with rear. Make sure you have line the little tabs on the skirt with the white part. Place the skirt on top of the white piece and press down hard with at least 100 lbs of pressure. They SNAP back into place lol
