Couple of things. How were they before the refurb? First it might be that the pipes are swelled with moisture right now and time might be the key. If that isn't the case sometimes a very light rub of wax will get the stem to seat. If that doesn't work very very light sanding with high grit sandpaper would do it. Careful to test fit alot with that.

Good luck
