I figured it out by reading the directions. I needed to flatten the washer out with an pliers that made the OD larger. Then the emblem pressed right in and stayed put.

Re: '30 rear center clip
Marco's site does show a picture of the clip but what is it for and do I need it.
I find it strange that LB does not include it with their interior kit.
