Needing some help

So I’m just starting out and attempting to get into Scroll-saw work as a part of my business. I’m starting out with a Wen 3922 and I’m having the WORST time with it. It came with a pinned blade inside the machine, I didn’t really mind super much and fought it for a while trying to get the damn thing out. Finally did. Next tried to install pinless blades, this is where it all starts. I’ve had the most difficult experience that I’ve had with basically anything. Whenever one stays hooked in the other comes out, and it’s just constant nonstop. I manage to get the bottom one in and then when trying to get the top it comes out. Tried to get help from my stepdad and we couldn’t figure it out last night granted it was starting to get dark out. Earlier today my brother and I fought the damn thing and finally it all seemed like we figured it out. Both blades were in the top and bottom and then BOOM I’d tighten the tension a little and one would come out. Every single time. Kept letting the tension loose to the point that the entire tension back came off and I got it back on. I’m honestly just baffled at how this entire thing has gone with this machine. I don’t have money to throw at this, it took me like six months to save up enough cans to take in and get the hundred bucks for the damn saw, otherwise I would have bought another brand. Does anyone have an advice?
