Hope the end is not bent? Turn the dip stick 180 degrees, then it should go in. Hope this helps, Do not force the dip stick at all. And welcome!!!!!!

Welcome to the forum....Im with pep....if it came out easy then it will go back in...take your time, check out how it works on the other engine.....compare the sticks, make sure you got the whole thing out.
FWIW.....The above is just my opinion.
