I am having trouble with my dipstick in my new to me RDX. It doesn't want to go in easily and I have to fight it to slide in. I was wondering if it is directional in any way and more importantly, should it be bent at the end like it is?

I was messing around with the dipstick and I figured out something. The second red spacer seems to be the problem. When I insert the DS, the spacer jams the rod into the tube and it won't go in all the way.
However, if I insert the DS into the tube and then twist clockwise just a little, the second spacer slides all the way down and I don't run into any resistance.
Does yours work the same way? or do you think my Dipstick is slightly bent?
