I have a Canon EOS 7D Mark II with the EF-S 18-135mm kit lens. I bought an EW-73D hood, and it fits onto the bayonet tabs but will not rotate and lock into place. Nothing appears damaged, and I do not want to force it. Is this a compatibility issue, and if so, which hood is the correct one for this lens?

The lens hood you bought is for the EF 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM, but the standard kit lens supplied with a Canon EOS 7D Mark II should be an EF 18-135mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM. Though the names are very similar, they are two different lens designs which share the same focal length and aperture ranges. If I am not mistaken you will need the EW-73B, check also Canon.

Yes—this is most likely a compatibility issue, not damage. The EW-73D hood is for a different 18-135mm Canon lens design. The 7D Mark II kit lens is typically the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM, which uses the EW-73B hood. Even though the lens names are very similar, Canon made multiple 18-135mm versions with different hood fittings, so a hood for one version may mount partway but not twist and lock on another. Don’t force it, as that could damage the bayonet tabs. Check the exact lens model printed on the front or barrel of your lens and match the hood to that specific model.
