I noticed that nobody addressed the fact that the slide plate (also called bobbin plate) isn't on.
Everyone (and I mean everyone) tries to put these on the same way, sliding it from the left. Well Singer designed this plate so it goes in the opposite way: Slide it in from the right, going under the needle, and it will click into place easily.

That bobbin looks like a 15 bobbin. If the slide plate won't close with it in there, you'll know why - they're larger than the right ones.
