They are tight, ensure you have got all of the old seal out.

Try heating up the housing with a hair drier and apply a small amount of oil on the outer face of the new seal. Not sure if this is correct but it worked a treat for me when I replaced my fork seals. Also make sure you haven't damaged the housing when you removed the old seal. Good luck :wink:
