I believe that the ring deformation is an issue not if the ends aren't twisted but rather if they're bent outwards. If you lever them outwards too much you can make them not want to properly latch into the groove.

For me, getting the ring back in has been usually a bit of tapping with a rubber mallet while I stood and walked the ring around. One or two have required a bit of levering but otherwise they go in. Having the ring and groove clean is important. A bit of lube is also helpful.
