Vulcan pellet probe oring

i just got a new vulcan. The first couple times while shooting it somehow I fired it without the action all the way closed. The pellet oring came off. I can't get it back in. Then I lost it. I have lots of spare orings in a bulk kit. The size I have appeared to be the correct size, I just can't get it to seat in the groove. It keeps pushing to far inside the barrel.

any tips?
