How do I use this cup?!

I need some advice from all you experienced menstrual cup users out there!
Have finally decided to get a cup and online quiz recommended saalt one.
I can fold it and insert no problem. It says it should pop open and, if I can feel a fold still to twist it until it opens.
Now I twisted and twisted that damn thing like it was a merry go round but I couldn't get it to pop open. One of the walls of the cup was still folded! What am I doing wrong? Any advice? Or do I just have a weird shaped fandago? Would the fact I have a mild bladder prolapse affect it opening? Thanks in advance!

I find if mine doesn't pop open fully I push it up a nudge further, twist again, then pull back down a bit once popped.

Mine never feels like it's popped open but it catches it all & doesn't leak, so I am assuming it must be open correctly 🤷‍♀️
