if you check on euro car parts there is two different sizes for your car, did you not check the new one against the old one before messing it up

well you cant check it whilst its on and I just went by the parts chap saying its the right one. I cant find 2 different sizes on eurocarparts. I measured my original 38.03 .

There are two different balljoints dependant on your specific hub/wishbone configuration.
Use the Vida parts catalogue for the precise Volvo part number for your car then compare aftermarket options from that.
