Help with cartridge wire clips

Finally got all the parts for my Michell Gyro SE. Trying to put it together tonight, and the clips for the tonearm (Michell Tecnoarm II) are too small for the cartridge's pins (Hana ML). Looking around online I found usually the clips have a slit, or multiple for the round ones, so you can expand them for the pins. There are no slits in these clips, and I am at a loss as to what I am missing here. I also tried my Denon DL-160, same thing though. The manual only mentions making sure the wire color matches the pin, nothing else. Does anyone know anything about these arms?

OP, that is interesting. I’ve only used the clips with a ‘slit’ which allowed me to stretch them to fit the pins. I would then gently clamp down on the clips after the pins were in to ensure a snug fit.

Are you able to ‘stretch’ the clips as described?
