Replacement 42mm Screen doesn't fit

Replacement 42mm Screen doesn't fit

I purchased a replacement screen from iFixit and followed the replacement steps. Now when I am putting everything back together the screen doesn't want to fit back on. It sits flush all of the way around except fro the top. When I look at the side that is not closing properly I see two little tabs that don't appear to be on my old screen. Now I am not sure if they were at some point part of the original screen since the screen was broken and came off of the watch in pieces. Here is a picture that will hopefully help show what I am talking about.

"As far as I know, and by looking at several pictures from ifixits guide, parts and google images, the Apple Watch LCD shouldn't have clips, as the screen is held down by double sided adhesive.

I would contact them about it to see what can be done, as their customer service is fantastic. :-)"

We’re going way back here but I'm running into the same issue with parts from a different supplier. These look like apple original take offs.
