Mounting 5.25 devices in the P182

Ok I know people have built with the P182 here. How do you get the 5.25 opticals in? This screwless design is hard to figure out. They won't click in from the front, and don't fit in the back with the motherboard in. How do you do this?

Do you have the rails install the right way? The metal parts should be towards the front of the optical drive. With the rails installed properly the drives should slide in from the front of the case.

Thanks Cricket. I should have thought to try mounting them forward. Didn't see that in the case manual.
