A job I've got to do for my son - Both windows in their bedroom have broken so no opener in the room - while searching for hinges online it's apparent that apart from the length of the hinge there is a "stack measurement " i.e the overall depth of the various metal bars. Maybe you have a set that the stack is the wrong depth ?

Were the hinges exactly the same as the old ones? The fixing holes are usually in different places and you have to play around with them to get them to work correctly

Agree with GAzman here...it can be a bit hit and miss if you haven't got exactly the same hinges
