The clips are tricky – you want to install them with the long end up, and the short end down. Then when you insert the lights into the ceiling, make sure the long ends are pointing up. The small clips actually press into the drywall. They press into the narrow 1/2 thick part, and grab hold of the gypsum inbetween the paper coverings. It’s hard to explain, and yes the instructions are very unclear.
