How in the world do you get a R720 to fit into rails? (lemm.ee)

I hate having to work on my R720 because getting it back into the rails is a major pain in the ass. It barely fits, so I have to wrestle with it for half an hour to get it to fit.

Is there a trick to this?

Are the supermicro rails much easier to work with? I’m considering swapping them out if so.

Not really, and they're not compatible.

I have these things called kingrails from an oem case that are beefy and work pretty well, and some gigabyte ones too.

Good rails are just hard to come by I guess.
