I'm not sure what you are describing, but could you take a small drill and drill out just enough of the styrofoam next to the shell to get the clip in there?

A couple of soldering tips:

15-watt Soldering Iron

This wattage iron is ideal for soldering onto already fabricated and populated devices such as the internal motherboard inside various video gaming consoles. Using such a low wattage will give you ample time to solder correctly without worrying about the heat damaging important components. You can get away with using a higher wattage, but then you'll have much less time to work with while soldering.

60/40 Standard Rosin-Core Solder .032 Diameter or Similar

This mixture of solder is ideal to use for conductive purposes. The diameter allows you to directly apply the solder onto larger components without having to tin your wire first. You can really get away with using any diameter size if you first gather the solder on the end of your iron or tin the wire.

Thanks, Pardner.
Did I muck it up using silver solder?

nope not at all thats what I used. silver solder will keep it from ever corroding... standard solder using acid flux will corrode the copper wiring in time.
