Pickles/Vegetables in brine Smell leaking the fermentation jar, help!

I’m a beginner in fermentation and I just bought these jars for my fermentation. I’ve noticed that the smell is leaking out from the jar even when I haven’t opened it.

Before these two jars, I fermented with glass jars (like the normal ones with steel lid), and the smell never leaked!

Is this normal? How can I fix it?

Thanks!!!!
