It sounds like you need the plastic retainer that holds the lamp body in place. Unfortunaly these are pretty cheesy and they fracture easily. Mine broke when some jackass in a pickup rolled back at a stopsign with his tailgate down. No visible damage, not even a scratch, but it ruined the retainer. I'm glad I hadn't thrown out the old ones. The lights were new and I had just installed them less that a month before.
When snapping the ball screw into place use a dab of white grease and a good size C Clamp to gradually put the pressure on to "snap" it into place.
Using the clamp allows even control/pressure since as soon as it snaps in the pressure is off without over loading the plastic frame. CW
