Bearing Buddy Recommendation for Fitting Hub Bore of 1.98 inch

Question

Question:

Looking to get a set of bearing buddys for my Yacht Club trailer. I purchased a set of Curt ones, but could not get them to seat correctly. I tried 1.98 size which is definately correct. Does the actual Bearing Buddy brand differ as far as how it is machined to fit etc? Thanks!
