Default Eneloop D adapter help

I've switched some of my devices to Eneloop AA's in Eneloop D adapter
cells. The problem I'm having is that sometimes the cells don't seem to
be making good contact with the device battery terminals. It's not
corrosion, the positive terminal on the Eneloop D is quite small and I
believe is the culprit causing intermittent if not positioned correctly.
Is there anything I can do to improve the positive Eneloop D adapter
contact with the device positive terminals?


You're going to laugh at me but... seriously, consider
crumpling up a bit of aluminium foil.


No, that's actually what I did, but I have shorting concerns. Some of
the electronics are moved around so there is the possibility of foil
shorting.


I've done this in a similar situation where the tip of
a cell didn't reliably reach the contact.


I'm not real happy about the positive side of these cell adapters.
Seems it's tiny and almost recessed.
