Cymbal's trim potentiometers too big

Thing is:
The 2 trim potentiometers are to big to fit in between the other components in the cymbal's section. For TM1 I've to bend the surrounding resistors and capacitors to make space for it. And by doing that the socket for U1 doesn't fit anymore. That doesn't feel right. TM2 fits but thats simple because their's enough free space around it.

Could it be that I got by accident the wrong trimpot? On the pot it states: P254 605CO 3386

Yes, the right Mouser part must be 652-3362P-1-254LF - it's wrong in the BOM...

Aha. Thanks for clearing that up. Then I recommend they update the BOM and the building manual..

i also got these two huge trimpots, had to carefully place the other components around them
i also soldered the trimpots raised a bit, so that i can still read their labels on the board
because it's not fun to be looking for a given component label and it being completely hidden by something
