Have you tried to manually screw them in?
Do not use any tool - just your hand. Keep the front lens protected with a cap if possible. Then hold the top of barrel strongly, holding the base of the lens with the other hand, and try to screw in the top of barrel.
If I understood your description well, this could work.
