Tripod plate with camera will not lock down.

I'm running into this issue with a new tripod
Ravelli AVT Professional

The locking mechanism to lock the plate in place gets blocked by my DSLR, so I can't tighten the plate down.

Perhaps I'm not doing this correctly, anyone advise? I'm talking about this lock here.

Pull out on the little handle and adjust it to a position that will let you lock it down. If it wont pull out (aka not spring loaded) loosen the screw and adjust it that way.
 
Yes, I actually just discovered this. A little disappointed, as one has to reach under the camera body, pull it out, turn it, and repeat again until tightened...not good for times when you are in a hurry to grab a shot.
