i use an adjustable !!! heatgun to softem them up and get it straight, you caqn also use hot water but you have to work fast then.
also a bit of soapy water or some silicone spray helps to get it in.

just start on one side and work your way around to the opposite, just push it in with your thumbs.

make sure it is even and not leaving any bumps.
also keep in mind, the wider trim has an up/downside. just leave your old trim next to the bumper to check the right direction.
