I just bought an adapter so i can use a second monitor, but it seems to not fit fully onto the port even if it is compatible. Any Ideas?

There is DVI D, DVI I and DVI A. Which is your cable and which is the video connection?

Are you plugging into a DVI-I or DVI-D port? It makes all the difference in the world.

https://www.google.com/search?q=DVI+port&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwje5Ia-jY_WAhXmh1QKHehhCyUQ_AUICigB&biw=1920&bih=979#imgrc=4zcPKJAX_CqBIM:

DVI-I = 4 additional pins carrying the analog VGA signal.

DVI-D = Digital ONLY. No pins for analog.

A DVI-I adapter will NOT fit a DVI-D port.
