Door lock puzzle for jail cell

I don't understand how this puzzle works???

You aren't the only one. And the strategy guide is no help. I tried clicking on the disks to switch. Then I tried dragging a disc to its correct spot to replace the disc there. Tried clicking the "flames" outlined in blue to move the wheel. And finally tried to move the lines. Not one thing worked. So - anyone have the secret to what should be a simple mini-game?

Same exact reason I came here. I tried everything, too, and nothing works. I know the solution just can't get it to work. Makes me hesitant to buy the game. Hoping I'm just not getting something because the game looks promising.

Click on disks adjacent to each other to swap them. Only side by side disks will move. Hope this helps!
