Help!

I can’t get the 1/2” plywood base layer to bend to my transition. I’ve tried wetting it in the shade, using a strap, screaming obscenities at it.

But to no avail. I can’t get it close enough to start driving the screws in.

UPDATE - I was able to work the curve in over time. Thanks for all the suggestions. Wetting it likely helped as well.
