But when you reinstalled the stock ones to check (which was a great thought to make sure you had an actual issue) did you check to see if those two outer connection points were flush? What I'm saying is maybe they weren't, and you misdiagnosed it as normal because the stock ones had a gap. But they could only have had the gap because the orange things were already too damaged to hold them in place from when you took them out the first time.

The washer idea makes sense.
