vandoren reeds/mouthpieces

I play on a Vandoren B45, and I've had no problems with it until I bought a box of Vandoren reeds (3.5) I found that they don't "fit" my mouthpiece, meaning the sides of the tip of the mouthpiece can still be seen when the reed is on. Its almost as though the tip of the reed is too thin. I never noticed this with Mitchell Lurie's. Is this a different cut? This just seemed odd since Vadoren recommends that size for that mouthpiece (and of course they want you to buy their reeds and their mouthpieces) I don't know if I've noticed any real problems with the reeds being like that per se, except that it was difficult to find many good reeds in the box (normal, right?)
Sorry if I'm rambling, I'm just really confused!
