Loose Tach Needle

I bought a new tach needle from one of the vendors on the forum to replace a broken one. However, the new needle fits loose on the tach stem to the point where it will not stay on. The vendor said they sold many of these needle without this issue. I can see the hole on the needle are different size,with the new one being larger. Do they clue on or did I get a bad one? It's on an early 78 model

It not hard , look at it and , i am sure you'll figure it out. john gardner
