Exclamation Need Help with HID 9007 bulb installation

Hi Everyone,

I'm new here and this may have been posted already but I didn't see it so sorry if I'm reposting a thread. Anyways, here is the deal. I just recently bought 9007 10K HID bulbs from a site called motor fiend.com. I upgraded to the slim ballasts just because I thought they would fit better tucked under the headlights. My issue is with the turning cap that goes over the bulb. The top of the bulb where the wires are located is too big for the cap to fit over and lock the bulb in place. Does anyone know a fix for this? If I cut the middle circle out of the cap will it still lock over the bulb or will it be loose?
