Been there, done that. What I found is that the real genuine connectors that come with the anderson connector work fine. HOWEVER, BE CAREFUL OF ANY AFTERMARKET OR SUBSTITUTE CONTACT.

But they must vary slightly and I couldn't get it to latch. sorted through the connectors, and found the genuine ones works "easy peasy".
I found that I could take a "virgin" aftermarket connector straight out of the package and it would NOT insert and latch, no matter how hard I push, wiggled etc. The genuine article would snap in easily.
I've since done a dry run on any connector. If it snaps in, then it's good and I crimp and solder and they go in fine.
