How interesting, I have exactly the same issue with my Stinger 4432 (this one https://www.craftyhangouts.com/best-upholstery-sewing-machine/#product3)

There are lots of great YouTube videos you can watch for inserting needles in singer machines. I will say, the flat side of the head (not the eye) of the needle faces the machine when going in. The roused side faces towards you.
I found this via Mr. Google.
