Default Tailgate WTF???

I just removed my tailgate to install my roll Pan now I can't get the socket on the right side to go back on WTF? Can someone tell what I'm doing wrong, because as far as I can tell its not rocket science...

slip the left side on, then put the gate at a 45* angle and drop the right side on. clip the straps on and it's done.

if the right side hangs, shove the left side in all of the way. take a good look at how things work before going at it. like you said it's not rocket science
