There are two different thermostats depending on which water pump you have. You need to use the correct one to match your pump. They are long or short.

I not sure how to direct you as I suspect your waterpump has been replaced at some time. If you do some internet searching this issue has been written about many many times so you might find some help. I would just get both parts and return the wrong one if I was in your spot.
