post pics so we can see if it's laced right to begin with, but usually when you start that set of spokes, you gotta pop the nipples into the holes. sometimes they get stuck on the edge of the nipple hole and don't allow the nipple to pull through right, just give it a little push and it'll pop into place. if it's not that, try pushing the hub in whole holding onto the rim, so the spoke will get closer to the hole. sometimes it just needs 1 to get started.
if it's neither of those, then the spokes you have are too short
