Default new door panel fit

How much pressure should I have to put on the door panel to get the window crank to go on. Seems like the panel does not have the right curve to let the crank all the way on, and yes it is touching all around the edges with the snap clips connected. Thanks

My new panels didn't fit like the originals either. I had to take a little off around the door handle and the lock **** with a dremel tool to get the one on driver's side to work. I have power windows so I didn't have to deal with the window crank.
