I was removing my original one and it broke into pieces, ordered a new bezel and the clips from LMR, now when I’m snapping it in, it just wants to keep popping back out. Anyone have any tips to get it to stay put? I almost feel like it’s my lower shift boot in the way, but I don’t want to have to remove it.

Are the clips fully engaging or are the receiving ports "hogged" out a bit?

Yes i it snaps down in there, but will pop out once I mess with the shifter. The ports look in good shape to me

Can you try to get a little more spread on the clips that snap down? Just be careful to avoid permanently damaging them, but you might be able to improve the snugness of the fit.

If the clips fail, this is what I used on my 89:
