No, actually you do not fit the two pieces of tube that are the same diameter.
I ALWAYS cut at the groove. This leaves you with one part that fits inside another.

Also there are those caps that have the groove (or a cap) on top - then I cut on top.
After that the procedure is teh same, except you have to fit the cap through the whole tub which is not as convenient, but it still works. I solder the cap, then pull it down with the wires that have been threaded through the central hole in the base, then (and I make sure there is space around the caps' contacts both at the bottom and around the caps) I flood the base with hot glue making sure it penetrates everywhere on the bottom so it then fixes everything in/ place.
