Manifold change question?

I changed the manifold on my car yesterday, one of those jobs that if it ever needs doing again I will either sell the car or shell out for someone else to do it :bored: Quick question to anyone else who has done this... Does anyone know how to get the two metal clips back on the nuts that hold the steering rack to the sub frame. They go on but are loose not tight like they were before they came off. Want to get them on because they seem to be there to stop the bolts getting loose from vibration. Any help will be appreciated :thumbup1:
