Default Headlight bucket issues

Hey all, dumb question but im stuck. I had to buy a new header panel since my old one got crushed in a wreck, and im trying to put my old buckets on the new header panel and they just fall out. They just fall off the adjusment screws, they dont pop into place in the header panel either. I can't for the life of me figure these damn things out. 95 xj sport, and yes i bought the correct panel lol. Thanks in advance guys

As Greg98 said you need the spring to hold it in place.

Hmm I can't seem to find that spring. Anyone know where I can get one other than the junk yard?

What's wrong with the junk yard? They probably won't even charge you for it.

Nothing is wrong with the yard. I love going to them but I just don't have time right now

Bah! There's always time for the junkyard.

For springs you'd be in and out in ten minutes.
