E92 trim swap from wood pin issue

My E92's wooden interior is finally getting swapped for this really beautiful trim, I think it's called glacier silver. Definitely not what you see every day here. I've got the whole rear of the cars trim swapped, now comes the tricky part. I'm doing the front doors long trim pieces, and it uses metal poles on the trim to go in (like my wooden trim), and it's missing this metal pole/bolt on the last place where it goes, no biggie. I just take the metal pin off my wooden trim since they're literally identical. I try putting it in and with all the force I can, the pin slides onto the trim half way before getting stuck. What gives?

These are the pins i'm talking about:

Some were already on the glacier silver trim, except for the last one on the edge of the trim, on both of the front door trims.

Here's a pic of my exact trim and where the pin is missing where it gets stuck halfway and won't slide in:
