Correct way to reinstall A pillar plastic trim?

[arrg]

I removed the plastic pieces in my interior in order to give them a refresh with some SEM Color coat. I tried every way I could think of to get the A pillar trim back on, but I just couldn't get the piece to fit down by the dash. I ended up unfastening the dash and the steering column and rotating the dash out the way to get the A pillar trim back in place. Is this the right way to go about it, or is there an easier way?

I just put the bottom in first and then the upper. Never had a problem just have to make sure the clips are lined up with the hole before bumping them on.
