Default spark plug question

i have a 98 civic lx 4dr d16y7. I went to autozone bought spark plug wires and spark plugs. i replaced the right two fine, but the left two dont seem to fit into my spark plug socket like it doesnt grip at all. when i press down hard it makes a faint squish sound if i put my ear to it. so i figured id just replaced the wire and goto an autozone in the morning but i noticed the spark plug wire is also differnt its slight larger then the new one i have. hence the old one doesnt fit on it. im wondering if maybe the bottom piece fell off but i looked in the hole and it looks fine any ideas?

Why dont you go to the dealership and get oem parts that actually work.

You can waste your money on the autozone Bosch plugs or autolight, but if you absolutely cant go to the dealership then at least go to advance and get some ngk's.
