Clearance Light Problem

Just noticed that one of my clearance lights on the back of the trailer is not seated. The large end that is pointing towards the back is sticking up and you can see the inside of the fixture. Obviously rain will get in and I could not get it to seat. Tried pushing it down but nothing worked and I was concerned about pressing too hard and causing a dent on the rear of the roof. Can anyone advise on how I can remove the lens and reseat it?
Thanks,

Rick

Any ideas on my problem with the lens being out of place and how to reinstall?

Thanks,

If the fixture has a flat surface on the bottom and it is mounted on a curved surface seat the fixture in Dumb Dumb and once screwed down trim to excess with a dull blade like the edge of a putty knife of butter knife.

The fixture is most likely a potted circuit board and not subject to moisture but even so seating it in Dumb Dumb will make it look like a finished project.

We have to finish off the work coming out of Jackson City just to make the trailer look like it was worth what we paid for it.
