There's only one Regina splined pattern. It is the same as ATOM freewheels.
There are other splined pattern freewheel removers though, mainly the one that fits Shimano and a couple others. The splines are visibly coarser. If you post a photo we'd be able to tell you what you have, most likely.
So probably you have the wrong type of splined tool, or else it is simply a tight fit and you may need to push it in harder. Can't say for certain without being there.
