New battery - a bit too small.

Just bought a new battery with the correct cca specs, but the length is about 35mm too short.
Is there any solution here or do I need to find a battery with the exact same size?
BMW does some adaptor brackets, but I'm not sure if that's what I want.
 
properly because its the wrong battery, the correct one is a 096 battery. mine came with a 075 which is not right

there should be the battery number on the top on a sticker
 
I'm not quite sure what problem you have without seeing a photo. However, I replaced my original BMW battery a few years ago with a Bosch one that is correctly rated but turned out to be too short. I packed it with cardboard between the top of the battery and the bracket and it's been fine. I picked the Bosch instead of another BMW item because the warranty was longer.
 
I picked the varta 096, so hopefully it's the right one.
I've packed it but unsure if that's best for the long term.
