So I trapped the metal ring under the curved tab and slid the lower half towards the back of the car until the two halves were aligned again. Screwed the two halves back together, tightened the filter ring screw, and the filter was secure again.
Good luck!

Sounds really easy but in reality will be a headache.
I will probably end up zip tying the thing if I cannot get the ring back on.
