Sexing 5 week old kits

So I have been trying to sex my 5 week old kits and have seen quite a few photo's and videos on how to do it and what to look for but I'm still struggling because it seems when I do it my fingers always cause the genitals to get a slit which then makes me sex them as girls but not sure if it's me causing the slit or not, does anyone have any good pics of girls and boys at this age that might help me?

Make sure that it is properly "pushing" out. Sometimes when I sex babies, their parts don't fully come out and that can cause you confusion. If this may be the problem, try gently a few more times and try to "wiggle" it out.

Fingers crossed you are just lucky and have all does! I'm not very good until they are closer to 8 weeks, so not much help I'm afraid!
