I am having a tough time of it trying to install my headlamp lenses, clamp rings and bezels on my 1929 coupe. I have tried six-ways-to-Sunday to assemble them, but after tightening the clamp screw, I am able to pull the bezel, clamp and lens assembly off the bucket with little effort. These are the original Twilite headlamp assemblies. I certainly don't want the lenses to fall out and break. The order of assembly into the bezel (or trim ring) is the lens, the gasket, the clamp ring (with curled lip inward against the gasket).  

I have seen another type of bezel that also acts as the clamp, which seems like a much more straightforward type of setup, but I believe these were used on 1931-32. Any input is most welcome.
