The center conductor needs to be in precise alignment with the small socket hole that it fits into. Not that easy to do by feel, you really need to get a light and eyes on it. Unless the socket has been clipped short by someone who mistook it for an ordinary component leg or the open end is obstructed by something the center conductor should slip in easily once aligned correctly. The shield clamp can be re-tensioned somewhat, but it's not meant to grab very hard in the first place. It's mainly an electrical connection rather than a physical restraint.
