There are ways to make it work, but the only way I can think of is holding the ring above the plate at some angle, then dropping it so the top gets past the plate and lands on the post, while the bottom swings below. That would require a bit extra height when going for the top post.

I think 2 fingers would be better than 3. It would make it easier to get spoilers off of the post.

Also, with the 3 fingers, it might be harder to back away once they release the tube. They were intended to slightly fit around the plate, and once you contract them to release the tube, they wont fit past the plate again.
