The GI plugs is what I used to sell before maxalami. The reason why i gave up is the GI plugs are not as sticky and more prone to blowing out and the small plugs did not help much with thumb sized holes. Inserting a fresh plug again or better still the fat o e on the kit should work. Sometimes with a small hole the fat plug is needed.
Needless to say most tubeless woes are just down to, I should need to do that but you do.
Also never rely on sealant to plug holes. All these tales of stans or this sealant works better is mostly that. Each sealant has its plus point and it's down sides. Stans works but balls up especially if co2 or compressed air is used in inflate a tyre. Orange seal works fine but I dont buy of extra uk. No sealant seals all holes all of the time.
The sealants only job is to seal the tyre and tyre rim interface so it holds air. If it does anything more thats a bonus. Dont be upset if it doesn't though. It slowed the air leak enough for you to plug it.
This is why the maxalmi kits have two sizes of plugs so all holes can be plugged. Use the bigger plug.
Your frustrations are based on false expectations.
Also I hope the p fairy stays over some of you. I have had my fair share and I am enjoying a puncture free autumn. That's it I have jinxed it now. Blow out on the way home.

Ah got it, apologies. For completeness I use the Genuine Innovation ones and found them reliable: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Genuine-Innovations-Bacon-Tubeless-Refill/dp/B01MCYSRCY
