Default shift boot size?

I'm trying to figure out why my 67 shifter boot (4spd) didn't fit right. It's all crimped up on one side. It came with the car when I bought it. I can't seem to find any "different sizes" on the part guys' websites. So... before I break out the jigsaw (KIDDING!). What am I missing?

There are TWO different retainers for the shift boot - one goes on top and sandwiches the rubber boot between itself and the top of the floor pan (A.I.M., UPC 1Asm, Sheet E3, item #4), and one goes BELOW the floor pan, riveted in place (A.I.M., UPC 1 Bolt/Weld, Sheet B3, item #2) and accepts the screws from the upper retainer. The upper retainer in your photo doesn't look like the correct part.
