My Canon Pixma 520 Ink Cartridge Won't 'click' Into Place.

My canon pixma 520 has a problem with the cyan ink cartdridge. When I try to insert the new cartridge it won't 'click' into place, the orange 'confirmation' light doesn't stay on.  if I try to push it in it goes down, activates the orange light, then pops back up again. How can I fix this?
