Hi Michael,
The first question is hard to visualize ... can you send pics?
The question regarding the olive I suspect is because you are working with
a solid "plumbing " olive rather than the correct and somewhat more
difficult to find "split" olive.
The correct type will usually slip over the end of the tube easily.
If the end of the tube is damaged it is easily cleaned up with a file.
