I think you need to take into account that the Electric field in the capacitor is reduced by inserting the dielectric and also the voltage drops between the plates by inserting the capacitor. The dielectric is pulled in to the cap as the capacitor loses electrical potential energy as its voltage is decrease.
So conceptually, if a capacitor is connected to a voltage source, and if you decrease the distance between two plates, the electric field in between the plates increases. This means that you can hold more charge on each plate …
