Default 2005 X Type 3.0 AWD headlight bulb replacement

I need help. when I tried to place the right low beam headlight bulb I couldn't get it to lock into the fixture. I got the bulb seated into the igniter where I think the contacts were lined up properly. I then locked the ring into the ingiter. I can't get the ring to sit far enough into the fixture to twist it into locked position. I remove the bulb and I can get it to lock into the fixture. there must be a simple "trick". Can anyone help?

You would do better to post in the X-type subforum, X-Type ( X400 ) - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
This is the subforum for the XJ8 (2003-9 X350)
