It wouldn't even be the first time today if I were wrong, however.

You ain't wrong.

If the ply starts to delaminate, either the root diameter is wrong, or
the ply has poor lamination strength.

The workaround is to drill a piece of mdf or somesuch, oversized a bit
for the hole, and clamp it to the ply while you're putting the insert.

If the root diameter is correctly drilled, I'd worry about the ply
that I was using.
