I have a 5 gal craftsman wet vac, I'm not sure where the foam sleeve goes.
The foam just is put over the round center beneath the top of vacumn with top off the bucket. Just slide up to top of round assembly and you good to go. If you have the paper bag filter on remove it first.

Either you aren't getting the top on correctly so it will latch, or there maybe a problem with the latches. You should have a one year warranty on this, take it back to Sears and have them look at it.
SOURCE: need replacement manual
Go to Sears.com, click on the parts link, put in your model number, a parts list will come up, if you manual is available, you can click on it to buy it.

you did take the filter off before useing it wet didnt you make sure the check ball in the filter housing is down in the cage and that the top is locked down properly
SOURCE: craftsman wet/dry vac
It is supposed to have a round plastic plate and a plastic handle with a nut made in it that tightens against the plate to hold the filter on
SOURCE: where can I fnd the attachments for the craftsman
