Defective crowbar lens?

I just got my new crowbar lens in the mail and I figured everything was fine and dandy, but when I went to put it in, it wouldn't fit into the goggles properly because the holes wouldn't go all the way in. Upon further inspection I found that the holes are slightly narrower than on my other lens and that is probably what is causing this. And yes, my other lens goes in perfectly fine.

What should I do? Is this normal?
 
Heres a pic of the nosehole on my pink irid:

You can see the dark grey is slightly narrower. The bottom row are all like this, but the top are fine. Has this ever happened to anyone? Anyone know how to fix it?
 
Take it to a shop first. They aren't meant to be changed out constantly. more like every now and then. They should fit really snug.
I've had to get pretty aggressive switching out lenses before. Sometimes it scares the people and I just kinda laugh.
If you have 2 goggle bags, put a hand in each one and work on it. That way you aren't getting oil and finger prints everywhere. Just try to touch the inside as little as possible. You really do need to get aggressive with those.
 
Yeah I'm just returning it. If I force the nose part on, the rest of the holes don't even line up. Thanks though!
 
Sounds like a dodgy lens for sure. Hope it all works out.

I'm definitely one of those people that are shit scared changing out my crowbar lens.

The google bag glove idea is genius, pure commen sense at its finest.
