Can’t get new battery to twist into air tag!!

My apple AirTag battery has died so I bought new batteries, got the old battery out of the casing but cannot get the new battery to click into place… it beeps indicating a connection but I can’t twist the battery to secure it in place!

Battery

AirTag contains a coin cell battery. The battery may need to be replaced during

the life of the product. Replace only with the same type (CR2032) and rating of

battery, observing the correct polarity.

To replace the battery:

1. Push the battery compartment door, then turn counter-clockwise with two

thumbs and release when rotation stops.

2. Remove the door.

3. Remove the battery.

4. Insert a CR2032 battery into the device with the positive side (+) facing up.

5. Place the battery compartment door on the device, and rotate clockwise

while gently pushing, until it drops into place.

6. Push door into device until it stops, then rotate clockwise with two thumbs

until rotation stops.


It appears you don't twist the battery, you screw in the door.
