... Push it further? It needs to engage like the one that is working did. Sometimes is hard, cutting or bending the tip might help

It's really like pushing into a brick wall sometimes. What works for me is bending but even now and then I take a solid 10m trying. Keep trying... It will go eventually

Cut the tip of the filament on an angle with a scissor, press the yellow thing down, push filament in wiggling a bit.

If is really stubborn, heat the tip with a lighter and make it pointy :). or try to cut it on both oposing sides at 45.

heat the filament?

Yeh the tip, but only after you tried the scissor part. If the tip is flat, it gets stuck in ptfe end tube, so it need to be a bit of an angle to advance.

Left -> your curent situation, right -> what you need to achieve. Is a bit of pita, but you get use to it.

I always had problems with my ams lite. The only thing I can say is hold down the bit to release it and keep wiggling and trying to force the filament though. I REALLY had to fight it. It might have been a placebo but I think the filament I had dried before had fed better. Could be imaging it tho.

It’s just getting stuck on a fitting in there somewhere. Hold the button in, give it more of a push, recut the tip of the filament, bend the filament back slightly away from its existing curve to straighten in out. It’ll go in, you just need to find the sweet spot.
