Guess I was afraid to use some force on it and it might have helped to oil the top and bottom of the neck on the filter to insure it goes on easier. Well time for a bud-light

Note the O-ring in the correct groove.
All should take notice that in the diagrams above posted by
onehundred80, it shows the filter element being installed by pushing it on the filter stalk while "twisting" the filter element. If you follow this technique, the filter element goes on fairly easy to the proper location. Besides applying an oil film to the O-rings when installing them, I also apply a small bit of new oil along the top & bottom sealing ring of the filter element before installing it onto the stalk..
