Default Cabin Air Filter

Hello,
I recently ordered a ATP CF-44 cabin air filter for my 2005 Lexus ES330 from RockAuto.
I took out my old cabin air filter and compared it with the new one I received and the new filter was slightly bigger. This raised an eyebrow but I still tried to fit it in the filter holder but it did not fit.
The ATP filter slightly sticks out and it doesn't fit straight if you push it in.

Has anyone else had an issue with this filter? Was I sent the wrong filter in the right box? Any suggestions?

Old filter inside filter case:


New ATP CF44 filter on top, old filter on bottom:

I would return it and get genuine part# 87139-YZZ03 or Denso 4531009 they are a better filter with charcoal.

Fram cabin air filters can be purchased at Walmart for about $20. Don’t have the part # handy, but it fit my ‘05 ES perfectly.

As suggested buy the Denso at RockAuto it's a little less than $9 plus shipping. Separately, call RockAuto they will likely refund or offer a credit for the ATP without a return. Also, use the 5% discount code (link below) to apply at checkout.
