Sim Tray wont fully go in (iPhone 6)

Yesterday I tried to swap my SIM with a new one.. after I put the sim in the tray I tried to insert it in the iPhone. But it will only go 90% in.. (there's a lil bit of it outside. its like a second lock button.)


What could I do..?


I tried to gently add preasure to the left and to the right of the sim tray.. FAILED.
I used a flashlight to see in the sim tray entrance, all I can see that may block the sim is a gold looking piece of metal after I tried to move it with an paper pin but it's not moving at all.

I also tried to put the sim tray, then gently bend the phone so the sim could slide in.. FAILED


I don't know what to do.. I don't really wanna send it to repairs because I'm afraid that they may replace original pieces from the phone.(Happened to me a few years ago.)


Thank you for your time and help, I appreciate it.

iPhone 6, iOS 11.0.3, Sim Tray won't fully go in.

Remove the sim tray and take the sim out.


Then see if the sim tray will lock properly without any sim in it.


If it does, then the sim is probably not positioned properly.


If it does not insert and lock properly without the sim, then either the tray is damaged or there is an internal problem.
