You could probably take the battery back and get another one that will fit. Do you know if the battery was recommended for your car? I had to replace mine a few months ago.

haha this was a dumber problem than I thought. I changed the battery in the dark so i couldn't see that the terminal wasn't opening when I loosened the bolt so it wasn't going far enough down on the battery. after I loosened it in the morning everything was fine. thanks guys
