15305or owners/ro plot help - please help me

I purchased a rubber strap for the 15305OR and i'm having a hard time fitting the plots on the strap. They seem to be too long for it. I've tried a 39mm rubber and 41mm rubber with the same issue.

Anyone know why this is happening? Attached is a photo

Is it an gen AP strap for that watch? The slots seem deeper than normal, unless its the lighting. Anyway doesn't appear it will ever fit...

Yes its a AP strap. The plots are from a 39 Skeleton being put on a 41 ROC. Plots aren't the problem as the 39 & 41 share the same plot and the strap is for a 39 & 41 RO. I've seen on insta that some other 15305's have the same problem so i figured an owner here would know what the issue is.

I have a 41 ROC with rubber strap and my strap is different than that. Unless there's more than one. Mine is on a deployment.

I would reach out to AP to see what they recommend because as you have it, it clearly isn't right. With the right plot/strap configuration it should look better I would think.
