How to make it fit
After cursing Samsung and Amazon for a good 15 minutes, I found a tip in old review from Kelvin Sakai really worked:
This design for whatever reason has 3 teeth instead of 2. It is the first tooth (the shortest one on the left) that is causing the problem. The plastic used on these filters is quite soft. I took a utility knife (box cutter) and merely cut off that first tooth on both sides of the filter (one slice through the tooth and a second slice to chip it off). After that, the filter went on exactly as our old ones did.
