Problem with FM Antenna Connector RCD330G+

Hey guys (and gals)...today the new RCD330G+ head unit with Apple Car Play arrived and I installed it in my 2012 GTI. Everything works perfectly except that I could not get the FM antenna connected to the back of the unit.

My original head unit used a two-sided connector and the connection on the new RCD330G only has one attachment point. I tried to press the connector into place (and used quite a bit of force) but it would not seat on the post of the RCD330G. In addition, the little retention clip is on the side that is missing. I have attached pics of the new/old posts and the wiring harness from my car.

Is there something that I am missing? Do I need to wire in a different connector? Any insight is greatly appreciated...thanks!

This is the connection on the old head unit...
