Here is a bezel tip from @hammeredheartjewelryco - “I use this super easy tip to get my bezel joints to stay put. After I make sure the edges are straight, I take some flat nose pliers and gently squeeze the joint. This helps to create tension so that it stays in place before soldering. “ Thank you for sharing with us!! I love simple tips that are helpful for beginners to have the best outcomes when soldering their bezels.
