That's not good. They should require a manual or hydraulic press method. I wouldn't run them if they just drop into the bore. I would return them under warranty.

I've had 50/50 luck with hardrace in terms of fitment. Some of their bushing diameters did not translate into a press fit at all (for my TSX). I had to do truly awful things to make them a press fit because I was in a pinch.
