You didn't unlock the little black locking clip (they tell you this in the instructions) before you inserted the fiber. Once I stopped trying to do it on my own, then went back and followed the instructions, it worked flawlessly.

Oh and yes, these connectors are forgiving: You can unlock it and reinsert the fiber and it does work just fine. It is amazing how it "feels" like it should when installed correctly.

Now, if I had only done it the right way with the many bikes, toys and sheds I have built without following the instructions.........

It's a man thing I suppose.
