Is this Paterson Super System 4 lid a defect or new design?

Got this today. Not tried it with liquid but even if it doesn't leak now, I feel like returning it unless this is a new design. It's so symmetrical it almost feels intentional. But is it?
The lid is also really difficult to fit on the rim of the dev container.

It's a defect for sure. I noticed that the quality of Paterson products have been on a decline. Two of the four new reels I bought, have some molding imperfection that made loading film difficult. I have to use a sharp knife to shave off some plastic from the beginning grooves to make it smooth. Older ones I bought from other members don't have such manufacturing issues.
