I like that 'beaten into submission', I will try to press them open thanks again for your great advise ..

The other option (as already mentioned) is to rotate one block by 90 degrees clockwise. That now aligns the adjoining point sections so one is pressed inward and one is pressed outward. Therefore they lock. On the next row you'd have to alternate.

The final option is to accept that they don't nest and sew them together as is. Yes, you'll have a bulky seam but that can be pressed/beaten into submission.
