Move curved object to meet curve 231207

Hello Fusion 360 forum,

Small curved object named Spring Clip Holder in
attached jpg. Working to make Spring Clip Holder
1. inner curve coincident with Fixture Side outer curve.

Have tried Align and Move. Both of these move the Spring Clip Holder Component in relation to the Fixture center point. It was conjectured that the solution is to use Align and
fit the small piece center point at distance from the Fixture center point to make the curves 
coincident. But Align doesn't seem to allow for distances to be set.
Thanks.

Your model is attached.  I found the inside radius of the Spring Clip did not match the Fixture Bottom so it would be difficult to match up the two.  I edited the radius of the Spring Clip to match the Fixture Bottom, and used a Rigid Joint to place it.  If you want to vary the angle in is attached at, simply edit the last, and only, Joint in the timeline and change the angle.

Hello jhackney, theCadWhisperer and the F360 forum,

The Rigid Joint method made the difference.
Thanks to jhackney1972 for helping me find the solution.
