Do you have any idea why this Lego plate is not being attached as well as others?</p>

  I am building a tank made of purely normal LEGO elements, which means no gears or axles or that type of stuff.
  
  I am trying to attach a 6x6 LEGO plate onto the base for support, but it is not working. I have used pieces from other ***countries*** and they all worked fine. The LEGO plate doesn't seem to want to be attached. It is hard to get it to stick, and sometimes a part of that LEGO is sticking out, like it was bent. Do you have any idea why this Lego plate is not being attached as well as others?
