Fram Engine Air filter CA 11943 poor fit

Purchased an engine air filter the other day from Canadian Tire ($24.99 Cnd) Part #CA 11943 and found it does not fit until one trims off the excess felt seal (~0.030") from both ends. With the excess it is too long and the cover will not latch. Given all the boxes on the shelf that had been opened I suspect a good number of purchases were returned when others found the filter would not fit. A sharp box cutter did the trick but.. modifications should not be required.
FYI
Anyone found an alternative brand that does fit without modifying.. other than OEM?
Cheers

It fit my 2020 fine. Got it from rockauto
Perhaps, I did not push hard enough but when I placed the old OEM back to back with the Fram it was definitely longer because of the felt seal. Trimming the Fram made both the same length.
