It could be. Put the plate or bridge with the new jewel inside facing upwards on a flat surface so it doesn't move about or wobble. Use some Rodico if necessary. Try the pivot in the jewel you fitted, with the opposite pivot pointing upwards with no support. The staff should tilt slightly to one side. It should be possibly to gently tip the escape wheel left to right then right to left, and you should see some free movement. If the staff point vertically upwards and doesn't tilt freely, the hole in the jewel is too small. Remove the jewel and fit the next size up.
