Hey Z! This is my first year breeding as well and I just assist fed 4 of my hatchlings. It was actually easy and there are a lot of videos on youtube about it. I just gently held the snakes head and nudged the pinky rat into the mouth and held it there. Either the snake will just take or fight you a bit. Even if they fight you a bit don't worry. Just keep the pinky in their mouth and eventually they will calm down and begin to work it down their throat. Then you can put them down and let them finish eating.
