Default Best way to add a new clip for piston pin for new piston head. Help and advice needed

Hi all, I'm just in the middle of restoring an old Kyosho GX15 engine and have recieved a new piston head and shaft as well as the pin and clip but i was wondering what the best way is to add the clip. I don't want to force it in as it will scratch the piston head but it is so small i also don't want it to spring off incase i loose it. Is there any tricks of the trade to add the clips or any type of tool you can get to make the job much easier as i want to get this right first time around without damaging the piston head or loosing the clip altogether. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated or if there is any videos on how to do it without any issues would be great as well. Many thanks.
