    Neck doesn't 100% fit, what to do?

    Hey all,
    just got the kit and opened it up.
    Wanted to do a mock build and realised the neck is very tight. This kit is the TL-1TB kit but I asked Pitbull guitars to swap the standard neck for a 27" to make a baritone guitar.
    I think with some force it will go in, but i'm hesitant to try this incase i damage the neck/socket.

    Should the neck slide in easily or should there be some resistance?
    If I need to adjust the heel/socket how do I go about this?

    I'm a complete novice so the more detail/advice the better!

    P.S. I asked for a 27" scale length as I want to make this guitar a baritone (again I'm a complete novice so no idea either way) but the neck seemed smaller than I expected so I measured it and the length from the nut to the end was about 19" or 490mm. Is this right? Figured I should ask now and check before commencing anything.

    Added some pics.
