i've always forced it in place, if it has an o ring seal make sure you don't cut the o ring when you install it.

I recommend tying a few feet of small rope or hose to the
hinge on the passenger side and drop it into the dipstick tube before the tranny is lowered. This will mark the original position
of the tube, making installation much easier. If yours is already
out, just go check out where it is on a different car.
