One of the keys to successful crimping is having the wire ends even.

Strip off the clading, arrange the wires and then use a side cutter to cut them so that they are even. Shove into the connector. Look at end and you shoud be able to clearly see 8 copper ends. If not pull cable back out and using side cutters even the end up again.
