If you do not find a C-clip in your can for the Amico 6 Inch Smart LED Recessed Lighting, you can follow these steps to install the C-clips before starting the installation:

1. **Turn off the circuit breaker:** Ensure that the power to the light switch for the recessed lights is turned off before proceeding with any installation steps.

2. **Thread the Socket Adapter into the socket:** Begin by threading the Socket Adapter into the socket inside the can.

3. **Connect the retrofit trim:** Plug the female connector of the retrofit trim onto the male connector of the socket adapter assembly.

4. **Connect the LED light module:** Plug the female cable connector on the socket adapter into the male connector on the LED light module.

5. **Install the C-clips or torsion springs:** If using torsion springs or C-clips, squeeze both torsion arms together and insert them into the torsion springs slots or C-clips of the can. Ensure all wires are tucked into the can and carefully push the LED downlight into the can until the trim is flush with the ceiling surface.

6. **Position the components carefully:** To provide enough room in shallow cans, position the Socket Adapter and Socket adjacent to the side of the LED DRIVER before inserting the Retrofit Trim into the can.

7. **Turn on the power and test the lights:** Once the installation is complete, turn the power back on at the source and test the lights to ensure they are functioning correctly.

By following these steps, you can successfully install the Amico 6 Inch Smart LED Recessed Lighting even if the C-clips are not initially included in the can.
