Default PIcture of Harmonic Balancer

Earlier i had a discussion of what was causing the big wobble in my car.
Well i pulled off the Harmonic balancer. Took a picture of it. compared to the new harmonic balancer i bought (on the left). I noticed theres some differences from the two. The key for the slot to fit on the crank is positioned differently from the new one. Could the OEM balancer key have been shifted? I need your thoughts. Does it look like theres anything wrong with the old one?

Yes, it is possible for the outer part to shift with respect to the hub, and cause the imbalance. If the new one works, toss the old one.
