Rail & Joiners

Help is needed. I admit to being stubborn. Also, contrarian. But I'm stumped by a novice problem. PECO code 83.The joiners are too tight, too long, and extremely difficult to use. I have ruined several flex tracks and one turnout because: When trying to connect two pieces of track, the joiners are not helping. All the YouTube videos I see make it look so simple to "just push the joiner on one rail and then push the next rail onto the joiner". It just isn't doing that for me.

Help Needed - Arduino - Stepper Motor from Elegoo

Not directly train related, but I'm attempting to learn about using stepper motors with Arduino Uno (and later, Nano) to control animation or turnouts. The steppers that I have from Elegoo are 5v and the only on-hand power supply is 5.2v. Will I burn out the steppers with that?

Please help this NOOB!
