Need quick help re: putting new visor on Oxygen

[Sky15 0]

My husband put a new visor on my Oxygen (regular, not the A3) and for some reason it will NOT open/flip up. It's obvious it's a tighter fit since I can't even get my finger/thumb in that front opening part as well. Not a huge deal since I never flip it up, but still I like having that option should it ever really fog up on me and I am doing some high altitude jumps next weekend. We are trying to just leave the new one on for a few days and see if it just gets better on it's own somehow like molds to a better shape, if not we'll just put the old dirty one back on I guess. When he put the old one back on to continue to mess around trying to check adjustments that one worked fine.

Any idea what the problem is? It is a small Oxygen if that matters. He thinks there is some very slight (like 1/4 inch difference in the two visors, but it's hard to tell for sure I think). Basically if he tries to adjust it a different way it doesn't work (flips up too easily, etc.).

This was a sky systems lens that as far as I can tell should work, looks the same.

Appreciate any input. Thanks!

I wear the same helmet, make certain the rotation lugs (white plastic thins are positioned corectly. and that they are in the correct sides.
A new visor will be harder to open but should not be impossible.

Thanks Sqeak. He did it right, it's the new visor that's a problem. You can see it is not the same exactly. I emailed sky systems and they said it can get warped during shipping and be too tight and they are sending me another one.

Guess I'll wear the dirty old one a bit longer, no biggie.

I just tried fitting my new visor, and it's too small, it wont close at all, and it's fitted correctly, the curve is just too tight. Also there does not appear to be any warping.
I've emailed Paragear so I await their reply

make sure you didn't screw down the plates too tightly, I had the same problem.
