Default DId a cam install this weekend

and the damn 5/16' rod wouldnt slide down the pass side. It went in like butter on the drivers side but not the pass side. Anyone have any clues as to why?

The exact same thing happened to me a week ago, driver's side went in, passenger didn't. Luckily i had some 3/16 rod and velcro too cause i wanted to try both and see which worked better. The velcro rod went in perfect.
