I recently purchased a GMT Pepsi, Model 16710B according to the paperwork. I wanted to replace the Pepsi insert with an all black insert, so I purchased one off this forum. The insert I purchased is B315-16700-11-A1. I was under the impression 16700 inserts fit 16710 models. However, I was unable to get the new insert to fit when I tried to change them out. I just couldn't get it to completely snap in.

What insert is the correct one needed? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

When I replaced the bezel insert on my 16710 Pepsi GMT2 it was thought to get the replacement insert snapped down fully. I used a spoon, rolling the spoon along the last section not lying flat. I placed a folded microfiber polishing cloth between the insert and spoon back to prevent marring the insert and it worked perfectly.

Should the 16700 inserts fit the model I have?

The 16700 insert you have is the correct one. They can be tricky to install.
