brake posts too short for new Shimano V brakes

Hi, I am replacing my old Tektro V brakes with new Shimano Deore V brakes and I am noticing they don't slide completely and make the posts look shorter and the arms are not flush like the old ones. The difference is significant, adds up to half of the width of the busher of the Shimano brakes. I am worried that with time and hard breaking the bolt might snap

Is there any solution to this? Should I buy Tektro to replace my old ones? Again, I am worried that new new Tektros would have the same problem if they changed at some point the standards for the brake posts/bosses some time ago

I tried them on a very old bike and looks like the same problem.


Many thanks
