Hotpoint Ultima S Line condenser unit won’t go back in

[Jules15]

I removed the condenser unit for cleaning and now won’t go back in. Have reached in and cleared any debris but still won’t go in far enough to close the clips. There’s a bit of white plastic sticking up from the very back of the tunnel on the machine but appears very fixed and won’t move when I try (I thought maybe it had ‘sprung’ up and is usually laying flat or something). The unit sounds like it’s hitting on something hard, which is why I’ve tried to manipulate the white plastic ‘stick’ at the back. I’ve taken out and replaced a number of times previously. I’ve seen mention of wavy bits becoming warped but there aren’t any on the back of the condenser. It suddenly feels like the plastic flange surrounding the back of the condenser is too long. Please help!
