To answer your question, you may have to help me Astro -
I get everything out of the return envelope ready to re-install the movement. Looking at the new crystal carefully, I notice...
NOW what? As I am not familiar with this case or crystal and being it's taken time to get it back, I'm hesitant to push on the crystal to maybe pop it into whatever groove may/not be in the case. Ideas?
Is there supposed to be a gasket underneath the crystal to resist water/dust? Wish I had an exploded Bulova view on this assembly.

The crystal goes in with a lot of tension, Mark, and although i was sure it was seated it must not have been in all the way or it just worked itself up. Any local jeweler could likely put it back. I'd likely add a bead of crystal sealant, too, just to make sure it didn't happen again if you'd like to try one more time. It does require a crystal lift....multi-pronged device.
