How do you prevent the 2 ends of the wire from catching on the connector edge when inserting?

24 AWG solid wire was used. Fishing it through the holes was rather tricky, which led me to a modification. I drilled the bottom two holes all the way through to the top of the housing. This allowed me to thread the wire from the top, through the first "contact", loop the wire back through the second contact, and back out the top. I could then pull the wire from the top to "snug it up" rather than trying to push it into the bottom holes from the bottom side of the housing. Then I just clipped the wires off with flush-cutting pliers.
