I used to have this problem with my guitars that have bridge pins like your uke does. It helps if you understand that the purpose of the pin is not to hold the string in. Instead, it is supposed to hold the knot against the soundboard. The knot or in my case a ball on the end of the string then holds the sting in. The pin just keeps it from moving into the hole and popping out. On my guitar, I can of course put my hand inside and feel it, but with a uke you just have to learn to do it by feel.
