hat's what I did but it doesn't help.

The sockets installed are very sheap and so the new sockets could not fit
into the old sockets.
The renewed only touches the side of the top parts from the old sockets. But
without much pressure and so some pins don't getting into contact. I can't
press the new sockets into the old sockets deep enough.
