I don't think I'd be hitting anything at all. It should fit without any issue. The first thing I'd be doing is removing the components and carefully checking them / re-installing them. The last thing I'd be doing is smacking components around with a hammer.
Something is up here, but I have a feeling the solution is much easier than we're thinking it is.
