Door weatherstrip install issue

I'm trying to install a new door weatherstrip but it looks like the slot I have is different from other ones I've seen in youtube videos. Mine kind of is like an L-shaped slot on the doorknob side. I tried stuffing in the strip that I have but it won't stay in place. As you can tell from the picture with it "installed" currently, it kind of pokes out. When I removed the old one, it was extremely difficult to pull out, so I'm not sure how the previous owners fit the strip in there. Any advice on what I should do would be appreciated. Thanks!
