I had a similar experience.  It's a stereo plug, but both channels are
identical.

My problem was that the casing on the plug I was trying to insert was a
little too large, so I was unable to fully insert it (I didn't realize
it right away).  By unscrewing the casing a little big, I was able to
get it in all the way, and then it worked great.
