Default After market lugnuts

I have a 2015 F-150 and have become a victim of swollen lugnuts. I purchased a set of 24 lugnuts off Amazon. The thing I noticed is the cone is shallower than the original so they recess deeper into the wheel. Is this going to be a problem? Note the documentation on line listed these as being for my truck. Thanks in advance for responses.

You likely don't have the right seat type. From your description you have cone or conical which will seat deeper into the hole. You want to use a bulge type seat on your F150.
"What is the difference between acorn and bulge lug nuts?
The term acorn refers to the ball-type, rounded, or dome head design of the lug nut. Bulge acorn lug nuts feature the same ball-type, rounded, or dome head design of the acorn lug nuts. However, bulge acorn lug nuts typically provide over 6% more seating surface area than a standard acorn lug nut.Oct 23, 2018"

After some though and looking online I'm sure the lugnuts i purchase are the wrong ones. Reordered replacements. Thanks for responses.
