The length of the metal barrel should be 9.5 mm for the PE. It sounds as if it has a 10 mm long barrel - which is standard, all you need to do is fit a bit of sleeving over it if you don't like seeing bare metal.

Now I have to ask the obvious question - two actually, first you did plug it into the power socket and not the headphone socket - I think nearly all of us has made that mistake and second, have you checked that it does give 12v at the plug (barrel = negative, hole = positive).

Rectifying the first is obvious and if there is no voltage then the unit is faulty and should be returned.
