Feed problems after using Prusament refill

I loaded an old prusament reel with a Prusament Asure Blue PLA refill.  I thought I followed the instructions on the video, but the resulting roll of filament was relatively loose, and when my Mini+ tries to feed the filament from the sunlu filament dryer box I use, it sinks into the rest of the roll, binds and causes under-extrusion.   Does anybody know what I did wrong?  Is there a solution short of rewinding the whole roll more tightly?

The important first step with refills is to ft the spool sides tight against the refill block - I use a screw-together centre so that I can make certain.  If the refill is not held tight filament will slip down the side and may jam.  And of course the spool must turn freely.

Cheerio,
