Trouble installing side trim/mouldings

OK I spent abit of time today trying to figure out these side moulding trim clip thingys.LOL.This is the side moulding trim on my 66 Dart.I have the little H trimclips with the little pin in the center.Adding them to the trim,they seem to stick out about 1/8th inch.Is this right?When removing,they seemed to not be 1/8 inch off the body.The H-clips are the same as removed,but new.How do you install these?Help will be appreaciated.Thanks
