Tried a small screwdriver wrapped with electrical tape but it seems like the tabs snap in there pretty good.

I installed mine in about 10 minutes, no no need to remove the fairing. When installing the new bezel, you may need to adjust the headlights, due to the fact the the new bezel snugs up against the headlight assembly and it may be adjusted out to prevent snapping the bezel in.

I think I know how to fix it.
The same thing happened to me, I had to adjust the headlight aiming screws until the bazel would snap in. If you're happy with the aim of you're headlights, you'll have to adjust all three screws evenly, moving the headlight assembly in until it allows the bezel to snap in.
