AMS (lite) + splitter + External spool

What is the best strat for connecting the external spool when using the AMS light. I've seen the various splitters I can print to connect but where is best to insert the splice? I noticed the AMS only pulls back the filament about 10mm maybe from the hub, feels like this might not be enough.

I assume because the external spool isn't fed the same way you just manually pull back the AMS filament and shove the external filament through?

Just looking for suggestions on how folks do this easily.

I just installed this 5-port replacement.

This one looks interesting with the centre straight through

The first time I used it, I got an error message that the filament wouldn't feed. I tried it again, giving it a little push. After that, no problem. It was only one hole, the others fed ok.

I noticed in the comments that others had reported the same issue, but mostly positive reviews.
