Default 1955 Ford Gas Cap

Has anyone had any issues with the fitment of aftermarket gas caps (vented, locking, or otherwise) on a stock 1955 Ford Fairlane gas tank? I received a vented gas cap (Stant 10640) and it will not "latch" when turned clockwise. I also tried a reproduction locking gas cap (8A-18416-SS)and while it fits the neck just fine the "teeth" will not catch the inside diameter of the filler neck to actually lock in position.

Maybe the rubber seal on these units is a tick too thick?
