Orion 10" Solar Filter won't fit

I bought a 10" Orion Solar Filter for my 10" Skywatcher but it doesn't fit.

The OTA diameter is about 11.1", the Solar Filter frame inner diameter is 12.1" (The actual Solar Filter Glass diameter is 11.1"). That's a gap of 1/2" between the filter and OTA all the way around. What gives??

I don't understand why they sell a Solar filter for a 10" Newtonian when it doesn't fit a 10" Newtonian!

Does anyone else have any explanation to this??
