Worked fine for me after.
We ran into the same issue with all of the new internal lugs we bought this year. We wound up removing all of the lugs from the casings and very slightly bending the ends up to make better contact just like techhellpbb said. Worked great after that. Also are using the XT60 connectors, and those are amazing. No issues of connectivity there.
