Photosmart Plus ink cartridge dilemma

[jadfast]

Recently I got a pack of fresh ink cartridges for my B210e;

Problem is, I could not for the life of me get the black cartridge to insert into the slot, and upon further inspection, the tip of the connector on the cartridge was an inverted T, and the slot on the printer was an upright T. Is this a manufacturing error by HP or something? Because from where I come from, these things are a pain to order. Hopig for any insights on this.
