I have this Red Sea pipe but it's a bit smaller than the 25mm-3/4" elbow I have..

Does anyone know how I can make the pipe fit in the 45 degree elbow with a tight fitting?

Would teflon tape work or is there something else that can make it fit tightly? Thanks

Don't think Red Sea supply separate parts for the e260 so was hoping there was some trick to making the wrong sized pipe fit into this 25mm elbow
 
Could I not melt the 45 elbow a tiny bit to narrow the hole? As Red Seas fitting is glued down to the pipe.

The outer diameter of red seas pipe is 24mm and the inner diameter of my elbow is 25mm so I'm literally 1mm off but can't any plumbing of 24mm anywhere?
