I bought on ebay from autolampsplus.com and the driverside carrier fit fine. As a matter of fact, I had a difficult time getting the ball into the socket because of the tight fit. It snapped into place after I used the right sized pliers to press it in.
From your discription the ball fits in all the way, but does not snap into place...correct?
