XB, thanks for the input.
There are indicators that it is fully pushed up on the frame. Notches on the upper part of the grips are mating precisely with the appropriate parts of the frame with no space left. Perfect fit up top.
Yet that back strap still protrudes.
It's as if the grips were designed to fit a revolver with a slightly different (less arch) curve on the backstrap, but this one has a greater arch.
I'll take it to the shop where I bought the Hogues next week and let them try it.
It may be that I need a different set.

That's what I suspected. I just doesn't feel right this way. It's definitely got a high ridge in the middle of the back of the grip.The Hogue grip should sit flush with the backstrap.
I've now taken it off and reinstalled it twice.It appears to not be going onto the gun enough. Check to make sure nothing is blocking it from going further.
