Not unusual for the clip to get bent way out of alignment, I used needle-nose pliers to put the clip in the groove, after securely tightening the bolt.

On my DG-300 the wire slides in and out along an axis that's parallel to the slot in the bolt. Your pictures suggest yours has been bent about 90 degrees to that axis, in the horizontal plane, just where it comes out of your horizontal stabilizer. Suggest following JJ's needle-nose suggestion.

Thanks very much! This makes sense now. I wanted to confirm alignment before I started bending the wire around.
