Trico Ultra passenger side doesn’t fit

Hello,

so I ordered some Trico ultra wipers and they are nice quality. I even read the instructions lol.

turns out that for a hook style wiper arm, no adapter is needed and you just slide the hook in. On the passenger side, the part that inserts into the hook is about 3/8 inch shorter than my current one. Already my wiper barely misses the plastic cowling but moving it over 3/8 to the left (from perspective of standing in front of the car) makes it totally collide with the cowling. How come? My previous sniper was not OEM but beam style and I’m replacing it with a beam.

i got it right off of rockauto. It is 16 inch. What can I do? Anyone else have this issue?
