That gasket is more of a trim piece. They are a real PITA to put back in. I've had best luck finding the seam, pulling it out and then reseating it. CLEAN surfaces and then silicone lube on the gasket makes it a little easier and I use a plastic tool made for windshields to push it back in place. You could get a Popsicle size piece of plastic and make the end sharp like a chisel but not too sharp.
Go slow and stretch the trim as you go, it will go easier, but bunch it up in the corners, if that makes sense.
