They seal at the bottom. The new plugs just don't have that shoulder, and they are a little bit longer overall. Mine work just fine.

BTW, are you replacing the old because they appeared not to work? I found that the easiest way to check was with the battery charger hooked up I could see the drain on the charger's meter. It takes mine @ 3-4 minutes to warm enough to make a difference in cold weather < 27 degrees.
