Default Anyone else have issues with Proline 2.2 Flat Irons on RC4WD internal beadlocks?

Tough issue to describe that I am having. I've got 2.2 Flat Irons and the OEM Steel rims from RC4WD. The bead of the tire keeps slipping out/getting pushed out from the ring when I am trying to tighten the rims. Don't have this problem with my mud slingers. I'm at a loss on how to get these to seat themselves right when tightening.

Any tips or suggestions? Am I missing something obvious?

when I did mine I seated the bead by hand tight then pressed half the wheel at a time slowly with a wood clamp and after both sides were squished into place I screwed it together. the steelie wheels are cool as hell but a huge pain to get together with those tiny screws
