Difference between google analytics and webmaster

Hi All,
One of my site have two versions french and English, So i have added hreflang in all pages of the two versions

<link rel="alternate" hreflang="fr-ca" href="https://www.example.com/fr/" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://www.example.com/" />
But in Webmaster tools it has no return tags. Can any one please help me solve this issue.

Also we have built site in a special manner that in which we have implemented a redirection as described - if a user visits the French page of the site for the first time, on his next visit he will go only to the French page of the site*(even if the page in the SERP that he clicked was in english) ; to change to english, he must manually click on the language option.

So running the URLS in hreflang validator tools also only reported "302 redirection " or "canonical conflict" is that a problem? does it take out the effectiveness of the hreflang tag ???

Thanks!
