Astronomy says we will find a coded signal from outer space. Then we'll KNOW that life exists there, for coded signals aren't by chance.

Biology says there are coded genetic signals in every cell, but we KNOW that no intelligence created life.

You can try LIGHTLY tapping it in place with a small hammer. The fit on the stubs can be a bit tight and make sure that you align everything correctly.

I don't recall there being any issues when I did mine. Agree with Dennis, try tapping lightly - if it wont go on - look at all holes closely and make sure there is not a manufacturing defect. Lastly, email ZZP - they always respond to inquiries within hours - has been my experience on multiple emails through the years.
