That's a solid guess of a problem. I've read there is a geometry difference that would cause this problem. (it's the problem in reverse: can't pull the handle far enough; too much slack)

Do you have the original broken one to compare? You could have ordered the correct part but sent the wrong part.

Also: if you do have the original part, you can repair it for basically free if it's the usual break (hinge). It will be stronger than new.

And: while you have it out, cut off the "self destruct tab" that causes the break in the first place. See my threads about DHC
