I just finished 10 bezels and soldering them to the backing. I had two that did the same thing. All I do is pickle it, reflux it and heat it back up. If it does not take then just put a small amount of solder and that should take care of it. They are times when I am soldering the bezel to the back and end up with a small gap. All I do is just what I explained and 9 out of 10 times there is enough solder there to fill the gap it just may have not been properly fluxed the first time or a small piece of debris.
