A good fixture is the key here. The first side should be easier than te second(if double sided). In both cases I will try to level the top of the board with the top of the fixture. Try to lock with pins comming from the fixture to the PCB holes. This

Oh yeah, I've seen this before! Generally, if the hole sizes are correct (including plating), and the PEMs are within spec, we've found that this is most commonly caused by insufficient support of the PCB during insertion. If you can eliminate supp
