Temp gauge question...

I know most ppl are either putting the sender in the hot line or using the second test port. I installed my guages yesterday, and when I tried to thread the sender into the second test port, it wouldn`t thread in. The hole there on the tranny port is too small for the probe on the sender to slide into. The threads are correct, but the sender won`t slide into the hole far enough for the threads to catch. I pulled the plug out of the front test port and the sender went into it fine. My question is this, do I need a differant sender, or will the front port work ? The gauge works great there from what I can tell, but I`ve never heard of anyone having this problem and had to use the front port. Will it work and be ok ???

TIA
