Your bulbs are 12 x SMD's, so I assume they are longer than the ones I had.

Did they have to be forced into the lens unit, or did they go in with no problem?

I had to order a different style of LED to fit into mine.

I have a 2003 S40.

No mine fitted in just perfectly, I guess few mm can make a difference...
I just noticed that front yellow sidelight leds are actually touching the plastic, but those at the back are ok, there is some space between. I will measure them later on.
