Double check your O rings, relube them and try again. That last little bit is a bit of a force fit. It kind of pops in. I dont recall if mine flexed or not when I did the last push on.

I put on the same filter and it was a tough go to get it to go on. You have to twist it on just like the diagram indicates. It does eventually go.
Good Luck,
Brian.
