Shunyata Venom 3's don't fit?

I just got (3) Shunyata Venom 3's and the component IEC end doesn't fit any of my gear? The end that is inserted into the component is longer than the power cords that came stock, so the cable never "bottoms out" and attaches properly. it's about 1/8" too long which leaves it just dangling there loosely. This is for a Cary SLI-80, EAR 834P, PS Audio Duet, and also my Jolida JD9A. What am I missing here?
