I suspect your plug has 4.8mm diameter pins and your socket has 4.0mm

'euro adaptors' in my drawer with different diameter pins. I don't know
why.

Any standard 16A european socket should accomodate 4.8mm
diameter pins.

Should. I'm sure that's true, but sometimes these fiendish Europeans
don't adhere to someone else's standards.
