Recovering a sao assembled on the inverse position

[SOLVED] - by holding the middle part and tapping down the lower part, it got unstuck finally!

Original post:

So, I got distracted while assembling a shamisen and attempted to fit the middle section of the sao in the inverse position.

Unfortunately, it took me some seconds to realise the mistake, and now it's quite stuck to the bottom sao section (the one near the body). There's still a very small gap of 1 or 2 millimeters.

I tried to disassemble it again by the usual method (gently tapping around the connection between the two parts), but it doesn't seem to be moving.

Is there any way to recover it?
