"The problem part of the clip is the bottom leg of the plus sign the clip resembles"
I haven't applied them, but have removed them by knocking the shaft (vertical part of "plus sign") into the panel with a punch. That is, the shaft SLIDES in/out of the clip. The new shafts may be stuck in place so appear to be a one piece "plus sign".
So you don't cut the bottom "leg" of the plus sign. Just push it in. Place the clip over the hole and tap the shaft lightly with a hammer until it is flush with the horizontal part. Then, I presume, you snap the trim on.
edit: Looks like Nel61 responded a few minutes earlier, while I was working on the answer.
