Pixel 7A replacement Battery tab appears to be in the wrong spot

While attempting to install my new pixel 7A battery I noticed the battery would not fit due to the tab being under the battery rather than over it when inserting it into the battery slot. Comparing the old (left) and new (right) batteries the new one appears to have the tab orientation flipped and so is not the same fit/function as the old one. Would appreciate if someone could sanity check if this appears to be a manufacturing defect as it seems like the new battery is not installable in the phone. The model # for both batteries matches as GP5JE.
