I do not have your model as I have a 600 f3, but I did have your same situation once. For me, even though it was supposed to be a correct fit for my model, it was slightly different. Once I purchased the correct part, it snapped up and down as designed.

Yes it's bent up because someone used a screwdriver to open the cap without a key - bend it down flat with some pliers and you should be good.
