The 7A6 tube on this 40-190 won't go all the way into its Loctal socket without extreme force. So much that I don't want to force it in. I've inspected the socket for solder globs, distorted locking ring etc. but I don't see anything out of the ordinary when I compare it to the other Loctal sockets.

What could cause this one to not want to lock in? Or even get past the locking ring. Tried a couple different tubes, same thing.
