Default Wrong Cabin Filter?

So I bought THIS cabin filter. It comes today and I attempt to swap my old one out and noticed the patterns are different. Probably a production error on their end?

OEM filter in the bracket on the left.
Aftermarket filter on the right

Oh and please excuse me for that dirty filter. It's been awhile lol

looks like you have to remove the old filter from the bracket and put the new one in

Notice how the lines on the OEM one goes from left to right. The after market one goes from top to bottom. No way I can get the aftermarket one in with the clips in place.

If I flip the aftermarket one around, it doesn't even fit in the bracket.
