In a formal document, I want to mention something which I was not able to understand for a long time. After that time, I had learnt some other thing and suddenly click! and I understood the other also.
So I want to say something like, I had the click moment. But I am not sure if this sounds natural and appropriate to use. What would you use for that?

The formal word I can think of is epiphany:
(M-W)
It depends on the context, but usually the verb click is used, as opposed to click moment. For example, "And then it clicked! I realized why X worked." It's informal.
(Cambridge Dictionary)
Another informal phrase using moment is "aha moment":
(M-W)
