You need a proper tool to press the retaining ring back on.

See this thread for some pics

6-digit Sub crystal and bezel swap

If you can't press the retaining ring over the crystal gasket, then you can shave the gasket, the ring or both a little bit until you can.

Put the gasket on a junk crystal and swipe/roll it across some 400 grit paper in an even uniform manner.

Wrap some 600 grit paper around a round tool handle and sand the inside of the retaining ring like turning a crank.

Check progress often and don't take too much off or WP gets compromised.
