That really doesnt make sense. They are the right plugs. I gap mine at .050.There is a piece missing to the puzzle. Good luck!

You could over tightened one plug and snapped it,visually inspect the plugs see if anything out of the ordinary.

Eeew. That would suck. You may also want to just make sure all your wires are on tight. They can be a real pain.

I hate to say this, but I have had bad plugs from NGK before. Back in 99 or 00 I think...I had to hunt for NGK TR-55VXs for my 98 S-10, payed out the butt for the darn things. Had to replace them with Bosch because of the same problem, pretty sure it was a bad plug. I thought it was just a fluke.
