Unhooking night bag from pouch

[Krusen2]

I have extremely arthritic fingers and cannot unhook my night back from my pouch! I use a Hollister single pouch system. I have tried using a BARD night bag put can’t pull out the plug. I have tried the Coloplast night bag as well. Tried the connector that you pinch to remove from pouch but don’t have enough strength. This is all new to me so any suggestions would help.

Thank you,
