Hi Streak, and welcome to the forum :wave:
As Malc says, you have the correct fishplates for Peco N gauge track.

Better they are too tight than too loose!

Make sure the end of the rail is a clean cut. You may need to file a small amount off the bottom of the rail to assist.

Also check the joiner as sometimes they can get a little bent. You can always open them up a little and then squeeze them back together when you have them in place.
