Ah, this is the issue with coaxial wire and those connectors designed for twin flat wire. It's possible, but you need to strip more outer insulation off of the coaxial wire than you do inner insulation. I.e., the braided ground wire insulation gets stripped back farther than the insulation of the hot wire (the wire in the center of the cable). Then you have to twist the braided ground wire into a smooth linear wire, and then place shrink tubing over it, except at the very end that gets inserted into the connector. This way the braided wire "resembles" the inner wire (the hot wire). After that's done, place another, larger diameter piece of shrink tubing over the entire coaxial bundle. It's hard to describe in words...
I can't see from your pic how much of the hot wire you have exposed...
