Struggling to find a right angle DC jack (1.3mm x 3.5mm male) that fits

I realise that this is a very basic question to a lot of those on this forum and I am grateful for your time.

I ordered "1.3mm x 3.5mm Male Plug Right Angle L Jack DC Power Tip Connector"

The dimensions are correct for the tip. The body of the DC jack is far too big. I need something that's very similar to the dimensions of the moulded tip DC jack that came with the adapter I am using.

There appeared to be very limited choice when I was looking and found these in the first place.

Please tell me there's a way to get a jack that's a similar size to the original that I can add?

Thank you very much for your time.
 
Right, it's time to start thinking about finishing this project. I've got my male and female PicoBlade crimps and plastic connectors.

What are the conventions for which way around the male and female parts should be oriented? Should the male part be on the plug side and the female part on the short DC jack end?

How do I crimp the female terminals using the tool?
 
Ughhh, the wire gauge doesn't appear to be correct (the insulation is far too thick) and the crimps are not working. What's the easiest way to measure stranded wire gauge? The wires are far too many and small to count and measure.
