I had cut the frets close. When I hammered a couple in, they slid, and ended up a little short of the edge of the fingerboard. I'll see if the press helps. And I'll leave them a lot longer next time.

It is hard to get them just right. For some reason, I always started cutting them long. It's a bit harder to do that when the f/b is bound though. Never know where to cut the tang.
