I would try & hook it out of there, looks like part of the housing has broken off.

Yes i ended up gently pulling it out of the recess by gripping one of the plastic tabs with pliers. Then firmly pressed it into the top cap before refitting.
Having previously only done metal bolt on filters in the past i wasnt sure how this one went since all the videos online show it coming out as a complete part with the top cap. Only realised later that the filter presses into the top cap before fitting.
