Used fingers only to avoid unnecessary damage from rushing, smashing or pressing things harder than needed.
Anyway, problem solved now. I figured out that the fork/headset are built to support riders heavier than myself, so I just put the fork into the headset, loaded it with my weight and the race snapped to the bottom of the fork. All is nice and flash now.
Thank you anyway.
