attach the hood in reverse.

and lens edges, and turn the
hood as shown by the arrow.

Attaching a Lens Hood
If the Lens Hood and Lens Have a Mount Index
If Neither the Lens Hood Nor the Lens Have a Mount Index
If the lens has a mount index and you do not attach the hood properly, it
may obstruct the image’s periphery, making it look dark.
When attaching or detaching the hood, grasp the base of the hood when
turning it. Grasping the hood’s edges when turning it may deform the
hood, resulting in failure to turn.
