Default Accel wire trouble

So my 07 Superglide custom came with yellow accel 8mm wires.
I just received a set of accel black 8mm wires off ebay for the bike and for some reason i can not get the wire to fully seat to the coil. I look inside the wires and the white ring around the metal prong looks a tad thicker than the ones that came on the bike.

Do you have to load the hell out of the coil fitting with dielectric grease to get em on?

The yellow ones seat on there super easy and I though I was gona break the coil off the bike with the amount of pressure I tried forcing the new black ones on.

The label on the accel wires box says it should fit 99-08 dynas

Call Accel...they'll have a solution, or can tell if you've got the correct coil-end connector.
