Default 97 Rear Ball joint issue

I have a 97 SE that I am changing the rear ball joints on, I think i may have widened the hole a little and my new Moog problem solver ball joints are falling out of the control arm if i lift up on the suspension, they wont just fall out on their own, I went to replace the strut and when pulling up on the knuckle they dropped out of the control arm..... Does anybody know how if this is a problem since the weight of the car on them will hold them in place, or if i should go to a junk yard to find a new control arm..Thanks in advance

But don't take any bumpy roads on the way there. Your rear suspension could fall apart.

X 2 on the junkyard.
