Troubleshooting

Parts do not fit together correctly.

Double-check the part numbers against the instructions and ensure they are oriented correctly. Gently clean any excess plastic molding flash from the connection points.

Instructions are unclear for a specific step.

Review the surrounding steps for context. Look for visual cues in the illustrations. If still unclear, search online for community discussions or build videos of the same model for potential clarification.
