Forgot to take pictures but I was having issues with my passenger taillight popping off. It seemed that the two post clips were barely engaging as the perimeter of the tail light was clashing with the outer panel.

Those posts screw in and out effectively allowing you to adjust position relative to the panel and or the engaging surfaces for the clips.

Quick adjustment and it's been perfect.
Took 2-3 tries to get the position just right.

Hope it works for you as well.

I also noticed that the screws can be over-tightened, which causes the front of the light assembly to pop out of the little thing that holds the assembly in place. Loosened those up a bit and haven't had any trouble since.
