yeah they dont come out of that one
That’s disappointing.
I expected to use one for output and one for solar input. What happens if I attach solar panels directly to the battery accidentally?

If the batteries are full you'll pump whatever the panels highest voltage is right into yer BMS and likely foobar something, if they are not full the'll try to charge off it... mebe a couple Diodes to keep one as Input and one as Output, then it wouldent do anything.
You can disassemble the PanelPole if you wish. The roll pin can be pushed out with a small flat blade screwdriver and hammer. It can help if you have a small vice to hold the item. Then re-install with some pliers to hold the roll pin and a small hammer.
If you want to rotate the housings for an alternate configuration, it won't allow the roll pin to be inserted as the channel formed between the two housings won't be aligned.
I suppose you could try drilling out the housings if you really wanted to do this. The roll pin diameter is 1/32".

If you are having problems with your crimping then you are using the wrong crimper. Either use theirs or a nice heavy Klien uninsulated terminal crimper. Not those thin ones that come in those terminal assortments.I have been using a bunch of Andersons and like them for their solid connection but have had problems.
I have the connectors I bought from Powerw
I have input and output on my DIY solar generator. I have 3 of those plugs, left front right of the box. Lower-left side is for solar input goes through my MPPT controller to battery. Lower right is output of solar if I want to use the solar generator for charging an external battery I have to change the wiring inside if I want to change modes. I will be changing this up with a switch and a relay, someday.
Not all the others are wired as I don't need them but the two front are output.
I have had trouble getting a smooth crimp using my crimper, 10 ga wires and the 45a crimps. WIth practice I get it close but then requires some creative use of a vice or vice grips to get it to fit into the powerpole.

Each termination type needs its specific crimper, or specialist die.
Just because you bought from a reputable source, even if you spend thousands, does not mean it is designed to crimp those particular Andersons.
Buy the right tool for the job.
Or find a place to lend you that tool.
Or pay a shop to terminate a custom set for you.
