Something is wrong, somewhere.
My copy of the 35/2 was bought new 2 years ago, came with shade 12526, 
with black push tabs.
It clicks in solidly; I'd have to hit it with a hammer to dislodge it.
I tried repeating some of what you show in your video and it wouldn't budge.

Good luck, be safe, and keep making great images!
