Compatible Exide battery, bigger than OEM Varta.

Hi all,
I recently purchased an Exide AGM battery (https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...503352&jsn=773) which is bigger than the OEM, Varta. The battery well seems have enough space to accommodate it, is there anything needed to install it e.g. removing some extra "padding ??" to make more space.
Thank you!
