If you're finding you have to "pry" something inside the Wago block, you're probably not inserting the tool far enough. After you push it in the slot a bit, you'll feel the handle naturally tilt upward as you push it the rest of the way. The Wago connector will then hold the tool securely. You can let go and use both hands to insert the wire properly if you need to before pulling the tool back out.
