Hard time changing my AirTag batteries

So, this only happens every other year... But I am the only one going through this ordeal?

I have 6 AirTags at home (between keys, dog tags, wallets...). They last about two years. When I have to replace them, it's a nightmare.

It is very easy to open the AirTag and it's very easy to replace the battery... But to close it and hear the blissful "chirp"? Without exaggeration, it takes me about 2 hours of intense frustrating trying to get the **** things closed. This has happened since the beginning (I believe since 6 years ago, when I got my first AirTags).

Does anyone have a "secret" tip on how do replace the batteries efficiently?
