I changed the shift solenoids in 2006 330i ZF transmission and sealing sleeves and am putting everything back together.

The Mechatronic Sealing Sleeve I managed to get in, lock plastic lock mechanism in place and got the electrical end screwed on until it clicked.

However, according to the ZF manual the space between the body of the transmission and the screw on clip should be 2.5 to 3 MM and I have about 6-7MM.

I have the sleeve pushed in all the way until can see the line shown in the image.

Is this part supposed to be pushed in further?
