I just slightly bend up the brass contacts on the twist socket with a small screwdriver. The ones for eye glasses work great. Clean them first if they are dirty.
I like to test the bulbs at the same time with some alligator leads connected to the tabs. Easier to do this first before bending them. I have found many bulb that do not light but only require a nudge in the socket to get working again.
