Comment: "Merci. Perpendiculairement ne convenait pas, vu la forme. J'ai opté pour 'bien enfoncer dans' qui se rapproche donc de à fond."

push the collect **square against** the fitting. or
push the collet **square against** the fitting.?
Do you have any pictures, that would eliminate for good the possibility of any "square shaped" part being involved?
