Are you sure, the filament passes the heatsink and goes right into the nozzle/heating chamber?

I had a few e3d clones, were the filament was misguided in the heatsink.
I had to unscrew the push fit from the heatsink and fumble with the filament until it found the entrance of the M6 heatbarrier.

Are the drive gear teeth aligned with the bearing properly? They need to be in the middle.

Does it happen all the time? Is the filament too small or is there an adjuster screw somewhere?
