RJ11 cimper end pins dont go in

The middle 4 go in but one on each end doesn't.
That's what an 8 pin RJ45 crimper will do if you try to crimp a 4 pin
RJ11 connector. The end push pins ride up on the wide edges of the
plastic connector. Are you using an RJ11/14 die or something else?
On some crimpers, you can also produce that effect by not pushing the
plastic plug all the way into the crimper die.
I can't figure out if there's a way to change the head.
Some change the head, others change a die. Some have an insert.
You'll need to disclose what you have before that can be determined.
I think I've had this problem before and had a workaround but
can't recall
Why not essentially make an awl/screwdriver type push down tool that also
takes up less space?
It takes quite a bit of force to crimp those connectors. A 4 pin RJ11
may not take much force, but the 10 pin RJ50 requires leverage.
