Center caps that are sold by aftermarket companies are usually made to fit aftermarket wheels, not OEM wheels. Did the seller state specifically that the caps would fit OEM wheels?

Corvette C4 center caps are essentially 2 diameters if were discussing the "hub center bore" caps - '90 and earlier are smaller than the '91+ center caps. Generally the "replica" after-market wheels will use the same as production center caps that they're replicas of.
The '88 - '89 larger style that covered the wheel mounting hardware are of course an exception.
What wheels do you have? Where did you buy your center caps? If you bought what you thought should fit then the cap would have the correct C4 emblem on the face of it, '90 and earlier or '91+. The difference is quite obvious, look at your hood and gas door emblems if you don't know.

The OD of the face of the caps is actually the same, but the OD of the attachment clips on the back side is different. LIke WVZR-1 stated the 91+ are larger diameter on the clips and the C4 emblem is different too.
