Default did i get the wrong plug, do NGK's use different size sockets

I was going to change my NGK plugs from the TR6's to the BR7's and the socket heads are different.



are they?

here is a picture of the SLP 5/8 socket that will not fit over the BR7 plug.

The BR7 takes a 13/16th socket

They may have given you the wrong part. I know on other plugs you have the option of different size sockets, either 5/8 or 13/16.
