Eureka made Power Nozzle re-assembly question

[briguy]

Can anyone give me some tips on re-assembly of Eureka made power nozzle necks? I always have to fight to get the hose duct just right so that the plastic plate (circled in the photo) doesn’t bulge out. This one seems to be really fighting. I’m sure I’m missing something. Seems it has to do with the way the hose curves possibly? Any tips?

Humm did you screw the hose to far in the neck maybe take it out re try my power nozzle does have a curve if memory serves me right .
