I attach the prongs as close to the end of the roll as I can. There is a slight trick to get the outside end of the film to lay correctly. Usually, at least for me, the last inch or so kind of sticks up through the spiral. I have to slide my finger along this piece of film, pressing down while I do so, to pop the film into place.
