You actually took the trim off the rail? It kinda rolls back on but be very carefull. It's rolled on along the length just enough to hold till its all almost on. Then snap it all at once with it face down. Hopefully no kinks will form

Another trick is to slide it on in on section then work it in down the other

You can. Use a rubber mallet as well when you need extra persuasion
