When I push it in, it doesn't sit snugly against the refrigerator cabinet; it hangs out a bit as though it's not securely in the seat. I saw in this forum another DIYer was having the same trouble, apparently with a new stud. Is this supposed to happen, or is there a way to make sure the stud fits all the way into the hole?
