Okay, so I got a Stack-Up cart today, and it had a converter inside...now here's my problem..
I've heard various things about how to actually use these things in a NES..I've heard from some people that I need to modify it..and others say that I simply need to cut off the tabs..and others say I don't need to do anything but replace the original board with a Famicom game of my choice...so I would like one sure answer...

I already told you how do this. It's a sure answer I've been doing it for months. I'll take a pic.

And you say you can just yank off the tabs with pliers?

They broke off very easily with a set of lock pliers. If you're worried just flip it around.

I tried that but for some reason, the connector and the pins won't line up straight..

It's the same on both sides. The black box accepts 60 pin on both sides.

I think there's something wrong with mine then..I don't wanna put to much force on it..but no matter how I try putting it in on that side, it seems the box is just a little bit too small...which concerns me, does anyone know?  Or are they usually like this...?

I think you're being a bit too timid, you have to really force it in there.

Okay, I got the converter in the other side, but no matter how hard I push, I can't get the Famicom game to go into the other side of the converter

And yes, I realize that I put the game in the wrong way, but I tried the other way too and it just does the same thing

It's tricky but you can do it. You have to slide the whole thing in at once, if you do one side at a time it won't fit. Remember that this converter wasn't meant for this so you have to sort coax it in.

Try filing down the sides of the converter, that's what I did with mine.

I sanded the sides of the black box so games would fit better. Then I cut up a NES game and used it as a casing. I can post a pic of the finished project.

EDIT: Here it is. I scanned it a while ago. (You can see part of Moai Kun's box...)
I can take more pics and give you tips on how to make it if need be.

Just wondering... Is there a special reason why you use a stripped Stack-Up cart.
Why don`t use a cartridge/converter like this ??
