Are your reeds wired? I presume they are which is normal for cor reeds.

Soak them in hot water for around 5 minutes and crow them. Then try them on your cor and shift the wire up (if you can) and squeeze it with pliers to close the aperture down.

If the reeds are still too flat with a narrow aperture, trim about 1mm off the tip and then scrape the top 2-3mm of the tip to thin it down to make it the same strength as before. Don't scrape at the base of the scrape as this will make them play flat again.
