They can be a bit fiddly.
I found the trick that worked for mine is to slide the panel in while holding the latch in the open position.
Also check to see if any wires are pinched in between the panel and the case, and make sure there's nothing in the way that would prevent the panel from sliding into place.
You might have to give it a few tries, but it will close eventually.

The other thing to watch out for is to make sure the swing arm contraption holding the power supply is fully closed (pushed back into the case) before attaching the side panel.

I have taken mine off a hundred times. It is fiddly, but try the following:
1) Make sure the bottom metal latches are slotting into the right part at the bottom edge of the metal case (you can see this as you line the case up to close it.
2) Pull out the black lever on the back that you use to open the case (make sure the screw is FULLY removed and you have pulled this out nice and far). Keep it held out while you move on to stage 3
3) Push the top half of the left side panel into place. It will probably bobble out in one area - just push it in.
4) If it still isn't perfect, let go of the back latch (step 2), then pull out it again (repeat step 2), push the bits of the case that are not aligning, repeat if necessary.
It always goes back in, it is just fiddly, and you need to get the metal tabs into their slots (all of them), and then have the black lever on the back close to grasp all the metal tabs. Don't panic, and don't go crazy hard on it!
