Door lock cylinder, how to install
So after several attempts at trying to install, I have given up.
Can someone please guide me on how to put the lock cylinder in the right orientation, along with the clip that secures it. I thought I had it but it just pushes in when I insert a key...wash rinse repeat.
Thanks in advance.

Have you try looking at the Manuals, some of them have great info about replacing parts.

There's really nothing at all complicated about the lock cylinder.
All it is, is a metal clip that looks like a circular paper clip. You just pop it off with a flat-head or something, and you pop it back on with the new one. The plastic that holds the clip has notches and groves on it where the clip latches into place. There's nothing else to it
Unless the plastic broke

If someone has a picture of the lock/clip orientation I would appreciate it. Maybe my clip is just worn or bent?

You have the right idea - the clip holds the trim on two sides using slots and also holds the cylinder in place. If one of the side slots is broken, it won't hold.
