Those minifuses are very good at pretending to be fully seated when they really aren't. My advice to teams for getting them in all the way:
  • Push them in all the way.
  • Let go and notice how they look like they're in all the way.
  • Push harder. Literally until it hurts.
  • Notice that they go in a lot more.
As a rule of thumb (!), if you can pull them out with your fingers they aren't pushed in hard enough.
