Looking for a trick or tip to get the right hand headlight connector plugged back in.

Try carefully sniping zip ties until you have it free. Click it in and tidy it up with new ties.

That's the problem, can't get it clicked in.
it's like it can't get lined up because the back end is blocked by the support bracket.

Probably should have started my question with this information included first:
Trying to reinstall with minimal disassembly of the front end. After all, it came out that way.
Finally gave up this afternoon and pulled the upper fairing off, then the 4 bolts holding the headlight assembly.
Bada-bing, plugged it right in (was afraid a pin had been bent or something was causing the problem).
Stitch it all back together and we're good to go.
If I had just given in up front, I'd probably have been done faster - given all the time farting around trying to get it to go.

So, that is my advice for anyone looking at this thread.

For track days, I just tape over my headlights.
