If youre using a tip with no coupler I use this method when Im using a larger tip for frosting cupcakes just push the tip into the bag and trim the piping bag so that about half of the tip sticks out.

How to put a piping tip on a bag. Add a coupler icing to your decorating bag. If you are using a couple set insert the inside plastic piece into the bag first. In fact the main challenge is getting into all the tiny nooks and crannies.
