Hello,

I have a new faucet, but unfortunately, I can’t fully fit it into the sink hole.

Is there something I should have considered when purchasing it?

Are you serious, or are you just trying to toss a five-dollar bill into the chauvinist piggy bank?

Male or female, doesn’t matter. Someone who knows their way around.

The tap hole is usually 35mm (+1) and must be completely clear. Yes, everything below it within the first 10cm (4 inches) should also be roughly 35mm in diameter. Then everything fits properly and can be securely installed.

The hole is too small, and I would agree with that opinion. When I used to work as a plumber, we had two different sized punch tools to cut such holes. It seems that a smaller one was used here. So, the only option is to enlarge the hole, perhaps with a small grinding tool like a Dremel or something similar.
