I was changing the printer cartridge and when I pulled up to take it out the drum also came out.  Now, I am unable to get the drum back in properly.  Please help.

If removed by force, it is possible that a guide has been damaged which then prevents the drum from being reinserted. Consult the user guide here HP LaserJet Pro M118-M119, M203-M205, HP LaserJet Ultra M206 User Guide - ENWW for instructions on how to install the drum unit. If you are still unable to insert the drum you may need to purchase a new one or find another one so you can compare to check for damage.
