Did you try putting some silicone lubricant on the base and on the O ring?
The other trick is once you have the bulb twisted in as far as you dare by hand, take a mid-sized jewelers flat bladed screwdriver, and place the tip against the base in the socket to push it the last millimeter or so. You will hear the retaining latch click when it is in all the way.
I agree that the tolerances are very tight, and the bulb base can bind, that is why the lubricant helps. Don't spray the lubricant directly on the bulb, as you will probably get it on the glass, but rather spray some on a Q-tip and dap it on the bulb base fingers, and the O ring. Another trick is to take a hair dryer and heat up the housing bulb receptor to make it expand a little, then put in the bulb.
