Can you see the slots in the socket where the dimples on the bulb lock into?  Is the socket bent or damaged there?  If you mess with it long enough and can't figure it out I would just wire in a new socket--available at auto parts stores.

They are generally indexed to go in a certain way, twist them around and see if that helps.
