M7Speed Pre-Intercooler Pipe too short?

2013 Mini JCW Hatchback (N18)

Just got done installing my new Intercooler, and now I am installing the M7Speed pre-intercooler pipe. Has anyone had any issues with it being too short? I mean, there is only one way to route it obviously but it seems to be about 2-3 inches too short?

Or, did i mess up and buy the wrong one? It says it would fit: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-m7-speed...56-3m7101~m7s/

Looks like stock mix up, you might have gotten an R60 vs R56 hose. Reach out to our CS team and i will let M7speed know their is a stock mix up at their place. Thanks

It is certainly a mixup, here is the OEM charge pipe next to the one I received.
