I rig my aircraft single handed, and find that the only way I can get the spar
pins in is to initially use a tapered pin on the starboard side. Then, once the
port pin is fully home I put a support under the starboard wing, pull out the
tapered starboard pin and replace it with the Allen pin. Works every time.

to get in particularly now as I have trimmed the starboard one to length and
no longer have a long feathered end to pull it in and also have put the spar
strap on.

or so - the pins seem tight and there is nothing much to push on.
