Actually its fine the way it is. The breaker is manufactured perfectly.
the breakers "stabs" will expand when a current is flowing throw the
breaker. The breaker may seem loose, but the stabs will hold in place.
Don't pry them apart to make them fit.
Happy trails

I ran a new circuit in my brother-in-laws condo that has all FPE
panels. I needed a spare breaker and came across the skinny breakers
that take up 1/2 of a normal breaker slot.
Are these breakers suppose to be that loose when you put them in?
They have the 2 brass stab-pins at the end. It does not seem to
secure. can I spread the pins out? Are the regular sized
"fat"
breakers any better?
