I just bought the iPad 10. I already owned a 1st gen Apple Pencil, so I went to the apple store today to pick the new adapter USB-c to lightning. The USB-c works fine but my Apple Pencil doesn’t fit in the lighting side (I double checked it is the lightning side) it seems to be to big. Is there anything I can do?

Hi Bookish_Ellie,
Thank you for clarifying further, we may have identified the issue. The specific adapter you will need is the following:

Is that the adapter that you purchased? If not, we would advise to exchange the adapter that you purchased.
Cheers!

Hi Bookish_Ellie,
Since an Apple Pencil (1st generation) should fit on your iPad (10th generation), double-check that there’s nothing blocking it. We’re recommending this based on this thread: Pencil suddenly doesn’t fit iPad - Apple Community
If nothing is blocking it, you’ll need to have it inspected for any physical issues. You may be able to locate an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider using this link: Find Locations - Apple
Feel free to get back to us with any questions or problems you may have.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
Hi Bookish_Ellie,
Thanks for confirming that. Next, we'd recommend having the equipment brought to a location for closer inspection.
Cheers.
Hi SnickZ.
Thank you for responding, but the iPad 10th generation has a USB-c plug while the Apple Pencil 1st generation is a lightning. An adapter is needed to connect the two which is what I bought but unfortunately the Apple Pencil does not seem to fit into the lightning side.
Hi Jeff_W,
Yes that is the adapter I purchased.
