I thank you for your post as it saved me time from having to figure out the best way to fix this problem.

Glad the idea worked for you Kevin. Another tip (and you may have done this), is when you re-install the plastic housing back on the car with the 3 screws that go through the white plastic, the trim and then finally the body, I used a small washer between the screw head and the white plastic such that the lip of each of the 3 washers "pinched" the metal socket housing to really hold everything in place.
