Problem with replacing igniter in Gas stove sealed burner?

Hi

I have a Whirlpool gas freestanding range with sealed burners

I need to replace a burner igniter. I unscrewed the burner and popped the old igniter out.

I have the new igniter however am not sure how to secrure it back into the burner. I press the igniter into the burner however it doesn't stay in the burner!!??

Am I supposed to crazy glue or epoxy the igniter in place?

Or is there a trick to pressing the igniter into the burner?

Thanks James
