I always clipped my SPG to my left shoulder D ring. Much easier to see.

I actually have my SPG come over my left shoulder and clip it to the left chest d-ring. So much nicer there.
I do it the other way. Holding it open with my thumb, but opening pointing out. Come from behind, head of the bolt snap pointing forward so it goes inside the ring. Then just go out from your body and release. Even if you push the ring with your hand, it can not go flat against you, since the bolt snap is in the way.Which way are you holding the clip? I used to have the same issue until someone showed me how to do it properly.
