Key Battery Replacement Question.
I'm trying to replace the battery on my key.
When I first opened the cover battery was in there snug and tight (took some effort to get it out)
but my new battery won't go in completely but its kind of laying at a angle... (putting in with some pressure doen't help)
if I just put the back cover in would it sit itself overtime?

I got the Panasonic CR 2025 that came with the fob.
After many trials to properly “sit” the battery
(the attached pic is how my battery is sitting)
I ran out of patience and closed the back cover anyways and the key works.... So I guess you don’t have to completely sit the battery?
