Question about mounting nano chip in solderless mounting board

Hi everyone, complete Arduino newbie here. I've been following the process
to create a solderless focuser and have made pretty good progress so far.
I've gotten everything connected up on some level and the firmware loaded
into the Nano chip. The one thing that doesn't feel right is the connection
between the Nano and the mounting board. However, I'm not sure what
"normal" looks like here. The chip just barely pushes down into the
mounting board socket. It just doesn't feel secure. I also doesn't seem to
work. So, there's that too.
I've attached a picture to illustrate this. Any suggestions are welcome.

The bare metal pins need to be fully inserted into the header on the board. It is not down far enough. Is something stopping it for being inserted further? You have to push it down all the way.
It has to be fully inserted with zero gap between the two yellow lines I have indicated on your pic
OK, that's what I ws afraid of. Yeah, it defintely doesn't want to insert that far. I'll keep trying...
Got it! Just had to push much harder than I was comfortable with on 1 corner. Once that area "gave way" the rest of it went much more easily.
Good to hear it.
