Need help with a insert problem

Hopefully someone here has run into this before and can give me some ideas. I have a 16750 GMT Master with 2 inserts black and a pepsi, when I change them the black insert goes in just fine the pepsi also goes in very easy, the issue I'm having is the pepsi insert after installed spins freely inside the bezel ring. Is there something that needs to be put on the underside of the insert to stop this?

Thanks for any help

Possible the insert is worn around the edge from changing to often or perhaps insert is aftermarket.Or perhaps you have the wrong insert now the 16750 insert has I/Diamater of 30.2mm and an O/Diameter of 37.75mm while inserts that fit the 16700/16760/16710 have a I/diameter of 30.7m and an O/Diameter of 37.65mm
