The green o-ring goes around the outside of the cylinder, near the end
that goes in the head. There is a small groove there. You can't see the
groove now because the old o-ring is still in it. You need a sharp
pointed  tool to dig the old one out and clean the groove. Then put the
new o-ring in the groove.
