It seems like the pins need slight bending inwards to fit.
Anyone fitted these things before?
Yup, it's typical of any new DIP chip to have to bend the legs to fit the socket.
I normally just fold them back one side at a time on a hard surface. Just put one side of the chip on a table and *gently* push the chip to bend the legs slightly, then do the same on the other side.
