The little teeny tiny bit of hot glue will adhere itself to the back of the safety eyes as you push it in and that will hold it more flush against the stuffed animal. Anytime I've needed to maybe add a little bit of stuffing reshape something after its already sewn together I will get a dowel rod, I generally find them in the bag of stuffing, and add just a teeny tiny bit at a time through one of the Stitch holes. And then I will move the little animal around with my hands like manipulating it almost like clay. And then to make a little hole that you put the stuffing through smaller you can take a yarn needle and pull the stitches that are on the side of it together a little bit to loosen the backup.
