You say you were pulling up on the bridge to get it back in position but wouldn't you actually push down on the trem arm to do that? I'm confused.
At any rate, you must also consider that if you're putting a lighter gauge set of strings on the guitar than the old set, the trem will sit down in the cavity. You'll have to back out the screws that hold the spring clip in place a bit. It's an adjusting process that can take hours the first time you do it. Be patient.
