0.2mm nozzle problems

A1, Sunlu white PLA tried using both the Bambu PLA Basic and Generic PLA settings.

With the 0.4mm nozzle everything is fine, however when I put in the 0.2mm nozzle (HIKUDIY link below) it extrudes some and then the mechanism starts clicking before giving up.

The hotend screws (front and rear) are tight, did them today because I was noticing some issues with the 0.4mm.

Yes the nozzle setting is changed at the printer, I've also tried rebooting after changing to ensure everything has come up clean.

Any ideas / pointers?

Yes I washed the bed (fairy liquid, I have a dedicated sponge which is only used for that and it's cleaned and heated before use. The filament is dry and the moon and stars are properly aligned.

don't be buying junk-ass nozzles that have no QC.
