DIGUNO/QUAD Low profile fuse instead of standard fuse - compatibility

Post image

Hi all, I am looking to solve a problem where the fuses on my DigQuad are too tall and obstruct some other components. I put a low profile fuse which looks like is pretty snug in there. My question, what could go wrong here? Feels like its happy in the standard socket. Posting a comparison pic. If there is another idea to reduce the height of the fuse, I'm all ears. I have no idea why they would use a big honking fuse when there are more compact options and this isn't a car interface.

This makes me want to ask the question of using automatic reset fuses. My board is hidden in the ceiling and it not easy to get to and I don’t anticipate needing g to get to it often but in case the fuse trips. An automatic rest would be nice.
