I think the problem arises when as Mex says, the crimp is too big in one direction or another. You can't really squish it outward at all, hardly. Once you have a conforming crimp, the terminal will go in without much fuss. imo.
From my experience, If I use genuine anderson connectors rather than second source parts, crimp doesn't seem to matter, they snap in. My experience is that there are non anderson connectors that are too short between where the crimp housing ends and the tip tang starts. so when the "neck" hits the wall in the housing, the tip isn't past the metal tag that holds it in place.
At first I thought I was doing something wrong. I was, had some connectors that weren't anderson and that was the problem.
when I talk about connectors, it's the metal contact, NOT the plastic housing.

I had to resort to solder to keep any strength to the termination, and the amount of filing needed is exactly the same with or without solder.
Thanks
