Did my door seals a few weeks ago same as yours just use 2 strips of 7mm double sided foam tape to stick your seal theres a post some where on here that shows you how to do it { or it might be on Brickwerks }

:rofl :ok
well yopur right there, they do fit sort of snug in that reccess, we add a bit of glue the base of the 'orifice' and a smmear on the base of the seal , if you daub all the seal /metal then it tends to grab on the way in and not seat correctly, we start by doing bthe front by the hinge glued on two sides here, thenworlk up the pillar, keep a touch of tension on but dont stretch as it will then end up saggy when you get back to the start
