It will fit...you'll just need to push a little more firmly...the plastic will give. They changed connectors across years for some reason, but all of us who've installed these have come across the same issue. It made me a little nervous when I installed mine, but everything worked out nicely.

Factory S rear markers are $100-$110 for the pair from most mail order dealers.
