Took 5 seconds for me to clip it in. This method will only work if you took the plenum off (which I'm going to do every time from now on).

For the passenger rear coil.
Insert crow bar towards strut tower, with a rag on the end of it. Hold the other side of the crow bar and push it down, the coil will be a little past the middle. Clicked in with almost no effort. Forget doing it by hand.

If I were to do it again, I'd definitely do my own DIY. I don't know why I struggled so much on this one!
