Default quick grip replacement question

Going from stock grips on a FLHX to HD black diamond. Throttle side went on great. The clutch side I couldn't get on as far as the stock one. Maybe 1/8" shy. Normal? I just adjusted everything back so it worked. Just making sure.

Stupid question, but did you put the throttle side grip on the throttle side and not mix them up and accidentally? You should be fine with adjusting the housings down a bit.
