I used a little bit of dielectric tune up grease in the boots and it helped to snap them in place...Which opti ends are you using? Taylors?

Ditto and try pushing with the wire not with the boot cause sometimes the boot has a tendency to flex

Definitely use a dab of Di-electric. It will snap on much easier.
