7763 Bezel Install

Hoping some of the experts on here can help me out. FedEx just dropped off my first vintage Heuer, a 7763. I was turning the bezel and it popped off. I noticed it was a little crooked when I received it, but did not think much about it.

I cannot figure out how to get it back on correctly. I've tried to make the tension ring sit more flush to the case before I attempt to put on the bezel, but it hasn't worked. I've gotten to the point where it is on securely, but still a little crooked like when I first received it.

Any tips on how to get it on straight and secure? I've already searched here quite extensively, but I haven't found anything pertaining to a 2446 or 7763 type bezel.

Thanks in advance.
