measure the old ones and buy the correct length. The clips should all be universal fit. I've never had an issue.
Maybe post a photo.

Don't worry about it. I think we've all stared at the stupid things and fumbled with them for unnecessarily long at least once.

In fact, I think I have you beat. I just bought wipers last week or so. It was an absolutely downpour of course. I clipped them on , immediately hopped on the freeway, and wondered why they weren't wiping. You guessed it... yes that was me on the freeway shoulder removing the protective guard off my wipers 🤣

Let us know how you like those Michelins . I got RainX and they are wiping great so far. No missed spots.

so I just got a 2013 a few months ago and seemed to have the same problem, but my wiper arm was wider than the blade if that makes sense and none of the addapters worked. Guy at the parts store said I had to use the OEM bosh blades?

I have had a 2009 and now a 2012 and they both have a different wiper blade connection. Can't by the ones from Costco or Walmart they won't fit. Have to go to a parts house or dealer to get the right ones. I got my replacements at AutoZone since they are close by. Oh by the way the cost more also.
