I opened my new MP9B Black Rodimus Convoy - such a nice figure however I need help with transforming him into car mode.

How do you tuck the hands/ palms into the space where it is supposed to go in car mode? I can do everything else but once I hit this step the hands keep bumping the rachet of the feet so I can't tab the arms neatly into place and the whole arm/ hand pop out.

Some ppl seem to have no problem with this but some do. So far I have only resorted to take the hands out and storing them in the convoy trailer which is less than ideal. If anyone could help pls.
