I own two kegs, an actual Cornelius and a Challenger VI. At the time I bought them, I thought "Corny keg" was it and no other differences. At some point, I decided to replace all the o-rings, including the poppet o-rings and poppets themselves. Well, the liquid post on the Cornelius keg hasn't worked real consistently since, getting stuck in the depressed position when the liquid QD is removed and spraying liquid all over. I bought actual Cornelius poppets for both kegs. I now know that's not going to work on the Challenger VI, but is this even a Corny post on my Corny keg? The bottom hex is shorter than what shows on KegOutlet's website;

I've verified correct threads for both respective kegs. Corny is 19/32-18 for both posts. Challenger VI has 9/16-18 for gas and 5/8-18 for liquid.
Second issue is, is this how the poppets are supposed to fit on top of the dip tubes? Just balancing on top like that? They're almost impossible to get in place on the first try. Of course, I didn't bother to keep the old parts to check, measure, or reinstall.
I'm tempted to purchase two new complete sets of posts and call it a day. What am I missing here? Do things look right?
