Working on zeroing my No4 Mk2, was able to remove the original front sight but now I can't get a new blade in!

that front screw has been removed, I bought No4 blades but nothing seems to want to fit. Anyone have advice or is there some tool I'm missing? I can't even get them started into the dovetail.
