Default Mullion grids

I am the new owner of an existing home. An interior door leading to the den has a mullion grid to create the effect of being 15 smaller glass panels. The basic door and mullion grid are wood. This grid is very loose. Appears that previous owners removed the grid when cleaning. The grid itself held in place by grid pin retainers such as this:

I'm suspecting these were originally installed improperly. The mullion grid frame currently holds both the pins and the receivers. As such only a very small portion of the pin actually makes contact with the door structure itself. Seems that the door ought to be where the receiver resides. That way the pin would pass through the mullion grid until joining the receiver portion that rests in the door. Am I correct? The graphic on the packaging is very unclear in this regard.

Might there be better alternatives? Such as using Velco pads? Considering the very light weight of the mullion grid itself might this or a similar means make more sense?
