Getting light assemblies into the grommets can be somewhat challenging. We have found that if you insert the grommet first (like you did), and then put a light amount of grease around the grommet edge the light will slide in easier.
If you check out the video I attached you can see one of our installers walk through this process. Fast forward to the 1:45 mark.
