Hooks on Sparrow hammock

[mch2os98]

I have an 11ft sparrow with both the UQ and tie out hooks. I use this hammock with hammock gear incubator underquilts. The quilts have small D rings along the top edges. The clips at the head and foot ends hold the primary suspension cords easily enough. But connecting the hooks to the D rings on the quilts is a real challenge. Getting the ring into the hook is a real ordeal as the opening on the hook isn't large enough to slip the ring into it easily. If I'm even trying to do this correctly. Clipping the quilt along the hammock would really help with it sliding around during the night. Should i just be muscling the ring into the hook or is there a trick I'm not seeing to doing this? Or should I just make some sort of loops to put onto the rings that will slide into the hooks easily? Any advice would be approciated.
