texanz71's post in Headlight Replacement Procedure was marked as the answer
To close out this thread:
I removed the mounting plate completely to figure out what was going on. It turns out nothing was broken, but I did strip the end of the 5mm clamping bow. I was able to shave it down temporarily, until I can order a new rod. The mounting plate was pushed too far back, thus not allowing the clamp to engage properly. After a lot of time spent with alignment of the mounting plate, I finally got the light back in place.
For others who might come across this issue; the headlight does need to be pressed inward as much as possible, but the locking clamp should not feel like too much of a struggle. Check the alignment and try again!
