I had the same problem and I just played around with them a bit and they locked in after a bit. It can be sorta frustrating when it doesn't work.

Use a rag sprayed with Windex to clean the rear of the lamp housing. Do the same inside the ring. Then run a finger soaked in WD-40 inside the ring. It will now twist on like soft butter.
