Difficulty with Neo Knot

Hi all!

I just got my shamisen, and I’m excited to put it together and work through the tutorial content. Unfortunately, the neo knot I received isn’t large enough for the peg. I’m hesitant to fiddle with it too much for fear of breaking something. Any recommendations on solving this?

Cheers,

Robert

Nevermind! Ended up managing to force it on with no ill effect.
