The rod that protrudes from the front of the receiver is stuck and won't allow the forend to fully seat into place. What's the trick or the fix for that?

The forend on my Parker when I got it that rod that sticks out was extremely tight also . When I put the forend back on instead of snapping it back on which was a no go for me . I put the metal part of the forend that sits on that rod and pushed downards from the tip of the forend and it snapped into place .
