Lumix G9 - Lumix 30mm Macro Lens too tight

Hello, I have a G9 and the 12-60mm Leica Lens, works great no issues interfacing with camera body. I purchased the 30mm macro lens and it is very tight on the camera, works fine but I've never had to turn a lens that hard to get it on the body. Even putting the plastic cap on the lens is tight fit. Anyone had this issue before? Thanks for your time!

I've heard reports of similar problems with Olympus lenses on Panasonic bodies, but how this can happen in the modern world with extremely small tolerances on machining I don't know.
