Spirit of Christmas red wire plug won't stay in

I just received this set today.  When I tried to attach the plug for the red wires it would not attach.  I guess this part is called the radius curved terminal rerailer E-Z track w/wire.  I watched a video but it showed the plug attaching easily.  Any suggestions would be great.

I presume that the trouble is that it refuses to be inserted.  You might be able to slightly bend one of the prongs inside to let it fit better.  One might be bent out of line a little bit. That's just my guess with limited information.

Look inside the reception pocket on the track section with a light and see if that's the case.  You can probably fix that, if it's the problem , by putting a screwdriver blade inside and very, very gently and easily put slight pressure on one of them to get both of them in alignment with each other.
