Spark plug wires not pushed down all the way on the distributor end?

I changed the spark plug wires in my '93 civic, the correct lengths on the correct spark plugs in the correct firing order, but the end that plugs in to the distributor I can't get the rubber part all the way over the plastic nubs. If it's connected (it pops on and off here, but just doesn't cover the plastic part) is this a problem?

Wrong wires.
the rubber boot is pulled up on the wires too far. pull the boot down some and see if it will go on the cap.
