Message	when i first started maknig them id either squeeze too far/hard and crush it, or put too much sticking out and itd be too big to fit correctly. honestly, theres no 'tircks' to it, just pratice. fwiw, i used to ahve a hydrolic flaring tool so it was more than easy to put too much pressure to it. wish i could help more... hey, i used to have a z!
