My replacement module for my New 3DS XL finally arrived, though looking at the circle pad, it looks smaller than the one I've had. Now it could just be that it's a new model or a third party (or I'm just seeing my own things), but a part of me is worried this could be for the regular New 3DS and not the XL.
I dunno if people can tell the difference by looking at a picture, but do these look like they're the right version? Or rather, are the regular New 3DS and the XL modules cross-compatible, if what I'm assuming is the case?

Can you still close your 3DS fully?
OP hasn't installed the new parts yet - you can see the original, slightly wider, stick cap under the darker grey C-shape that slots into the 3DS's case. When it's installed, it won't stick up.

IIRC the stick modules are the same, but the original 3DS's cap was slightly wider - the rubber on mine was damaged, but I was able to fit a Hori plastic grip meant for the later models over the hard plastic of the original cap, and the difference in size meant if actually fitted.
