Default new rally 2 trim ring removal

I got a set of rally 2 trim rings from our sponsor and they look great, but fit VERY tight. I had a hard time hitting with hand to get them to snap down in. On one, I noticed the valve stem got misaligned more than I like. It's actually touching on the side of the ring slot opening and I want to remove and center better. Luckily I noticed it before I hit it all the way flush where the valve stem is. So, I have about 1/4" gap at outside rim edge and ring as well as at backside of rim and ring so I can get my fingers in there, but not much leverage. I tried a heavy duty paint stick in back, but I need something more durable and am afraid I may start kinking the trim ring. I also can't leverage it enough at the rim edge. Anyone have these newer trim rings and have any tips on removal? What if a guy has a flat or wants new tires. How do these come off without destroying?
