New fridge water filter not working

It was time to replace the water filter (4396841 EDR3RXD1) Tried 3 different generic and finally an OEM. None of them work. Tried pre filling them. Nothing. Put the old filter in and it works great. We have compared the old and new but can't find any difference. Help please

Examine the original filter carefully for overall length, distance between inlet and outlet ports, O-rings and their locations. Compare with the OEM replacement. Be sure the two O-rings remain on each filter after removal from the refrigerator. There may be a sensor to detect faulty alignment or poor mechanical connection to prevent water flow, resulting in water on the floor. If O-rings aren't missing, perhaps a Q-tip with a little vegetable oil swabbed onto each O-ring may allow lubrication to allow better fitment of replacement filters.

Issue has been resolved. I filed the solid plastic stem a couple times. It was a millimeter too long and would not let the prongs seat properly.
