Did I get the wrong A/C Microfilter?

I put in an order to Bav Auto a few weeks ago and got my products. One item was an A/C Microfilter (part 64 31 1 496 711). I started researching how to put it in and found that the access box is either behind the glovebox or below the glovebox. I found that I've got a small filter box under my glovebox. The problem is, the box itself is about 1/2 as big as the massive filter I have.
Am I in the wrong area to change out the filter or did I just get sent the wrong product?

It is put in half curled, it slides up in a track. You'll see what I mean when you open up the access box.

Ah ha! Thank you, lordgrinz. I suppose I should have done a little more investigating before I posted
