I actually took that whole band/connector out, and then used a small pair of needle nose pliers to bend the wings back so that the stick out higher than they were. Put everything back together, and the key fob worked fine. If that wasn't it, check the 4 small wings that are attached to the circuit board for the negative connection to the battery, you may need to do those as well.

Good idea
Also, check that the contact points are clean. They can often easily be cleaned with a pencil eraser.
