Shimano Hydraulic Brake hood reattachment

I had to bleed the kid's 105 (RS505 ) brake the other day. Rather than read the instructions, I peeled back the hood from the front, before I discovered the bleed port is near the bar. So I peeled up the wrong part of the hood, and unfortunately I can't get it to go back into place. Here is a photo of the problematic hood, and the other one for reference. Is there a simple way to fix this that I am overlooking?




Hood I messed up.



Hood installed correctly.

I tried some isopropanol, and it helped a bit with the RS505 hood, but not with the ultegra one (below):
