How to put smaller keycap on on newer thinkpads?

Question / Problem

So i put it off somehow, cleaned it, but i can't just lay keycap onto the keyboard and press util click, i do so, but only part of it attaches to the keyboard.

Maybe I should detach plastic mechanism from the keycap and attach it to the keyboard? but it seems to be attached to the keycap pretty well, i'm a bit afraid of tearing it down

(i'ts thinkpad x13 g4)
