See pic.
I am moving this connector to another location. I cannot get these wires to connect! Either they fall out or I get them in there, but there is no metal on metal contact! I tried using pliers to no avail.

Sometimes when you buy a new jack, they include a cheap plastic tool that you can use a few times before it's all worn out.
UR and UY are "Scotchlock" splice connectors, with 2 or 3 slots to put wires in, and then squeeze together with a pair of pliers to make the wire connection.

Ideally you would have a punch down tool to do the job but there have been many wires seated without them.
If the tool you use is wider than the slot you spread the contacts and introduce a place for contamination to start and eventually fail the connection.
