Eflat and C clarinets notoriously have tenon and socket vagaries, even among the same model of instrument. (Worse in wood instruments, to which Tom R. could well attest).
Even custom makers can not assure you a perfect fit from stock or common measurements on the first try...that is what return/exchange agreements are for.
Be sure the seating is good....gaps in length can be fixed with tuning rings, and socket widths should ultimately be addressed by re-corking or by circumferential inserts.
For trial purposes, teflon plumbers tape (ribbon) is ok, or even thin masking tape....but it is not a permanent solution.
