Happy new years everybody
They aren't supposed to be stiff. All that I ever had to do is squeeze them with some pliers a little bit. I suppose it could be possible to work them out of shape enough to render them useless. Try another set of links and squeeze them lightly while the aluminum ball is inside and turned to it proper working location.
