Kent alloy hub cap fitting

I'm fitting Kent alloys to my car for the first time.

Try as I might I can't get the hub caps to stay on the front wheels when I tighten the wheel nuts - largely I think due to the differing hub shapes front and rear - the caps become detached from the three pointed retaining clip.

Does anyone have any hints or tips on how best to get these hub caps to stay on please?

Thank you.

Hello 53v12,

a slightly messy solution, but smear some silicone sealant to 'glue' the caps in position. They can still be removed when necessary.
