Hi all, recently had to change the drivers side brake light however when putting everything back together notcied that the light housing seems to fit differently to the passenger side (which sits more flush). Is it meant to be like this?

Replaced both my rear brake lights the other day. I would imagine it's to do with the rubbers that the metal pieces slot into.
 
Yeah I've ordered some new ones even though the current ones look perfect tbh...anyone else had these issues?
 
Tried the new rubbers and still doesn't fit right....driving me mad atm!

My one light pops out at the side when I tighten it up.
I have to put it all in place, then whilst i'm tightening the bolt inside, I have to push the side of the light in. Ends up fitting flush after.

Could give that a go.
