Did the person who installed them first not get them in the "V" entirely?

I wanted to mention that the barbed, plastic pieces for installing the oiler tubes that I recently bought from the Benzbin were so loose I couldn't use them. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem with oiler kits?
