I just replacement all my plugs and wires and my number two wire does not seem to fit tight. All the other plug wires snap into place, but one wire does not seem to. I took the first set of wires back and exchanged them as it seemed the connector was set farther into the wire. The new set match up with the originals from the car on visual inspection. However, when putting the wire in the connection does not feel snug. Why would this happen?

Its either the plug or the wire-try crimping the wire and make sure its snugged up tightly
