How to reinstall 6 pin rubber female sockets?

[jedwards1123]

Is there a trick to reinstalling the 6 Pin rubber female sockets into their holes in the bulkheads and fenders properly?
I've been struggling to any of them to "pop" through so they properly seal. I've pushed an shoved and rotated but I just cannot work out how a single person can do this.
Any help?

Lot's of Silicon Spray, get a portion of the lip through the hole, then twist with pressure.

Or a little bit of common house hold dish washing detergent. I little drop will do it.

I've found it pretty easy to lube the edges as recommended, then push them into place using a rounded blunt rod in the center opening (there is no contact in the center one).
It doesn't take much pressure and they pop right in. Emphasis on rounded blunt rod. I use a piece of scrap aluminum that just fits the opening.

Normally from left to right but looking at your location it would be from right to left
