2002 C230K coil

I removed a coil pack on my car for plug replacement dry run. On a previous post by Moviela for a 271 engine, he mentioned the plug attachment boot was to start at 124 mm long and the adjust itself to fit the plug as the coil was tightened into place. My coil boots were rubber (similar to regular boots) and did not want to move by hand at all. Are the 111 and 271 engines different in this respect?

Thanks for the reply. I looked up the coil part number for each engine and by the pictures I realized they were different.
