How do I fit the footpockets to my C4 blades?

Sounds like an idiot question I know, but...

I've just taken delivery of a nice pair of (Spetton branded) C4 Flap 30 blades and Spetton footpockets. The blades have big Spetton stickers on them and Scubastore are selling the pockets with a discount if you buy them with the C4 blades, so they are clearly meant to go together. However, I'm having a lot of trouble fitting them. If I spread the rails on the pockets really far apart, I can drop the blades in until the screw holes align, which is good, but after that I'm stuck. The blades have a glued-on rubber strip along the edge of the foot end, that seems like it's designed to locate into the groove in the rail, but the groove seems a bit too small for it to fit. Is this the way it's supposed to be? Should I use brute force to squeeze it in? Water? Lube? Heat? Should I cut the rubber strip off and use sealant to glue the blade edges in?

Any sensible suggestions welcome

Cheers,

Niall
