On the right hand side it sits on the pillar trim and it goes behind the bonnet lever and left hand side torx screw as you said. I've done this panel many many times and never had an issue with it and its very secure.
Hard to tell.
Try refitting it and if you fail just dremel out a bit of plastic which you shouldn't be doing so keep trying and it will fit.
