sidemarkers are too loose...not that way before??

a few years ago i bought some used jdm ej1 fenders from password:jdm. i had them repainted to match my car, and installed some new sidemarkers. fitment was tight and perfect, since the fenders had the area already cut for sidemarkers from the factory.

fast forward to a few weeks ago when some cack suckerz stole my sidemarkers. i got some new ones from password:jdm and the fitment is all loose. i can seriously take them off by hand with a little jiggling.

the first set i got was from password:jdm, and this new set i got was from them also. did i get a defective set?

yah, i ordered the ones for a 92-95 eg and password:jdm says they are OEM from japan.

i checked to make sure there was no damage to the holes in the fenders when the sidemarkers were stolen and all was ok, except for a little bend that i straightened out.

The same thing happened to me in my '95 EJ1.

Though it's with the stock ones

.

EDIT:
Make sure it's in the slider as well as the bolt.
