I had the same thing happened after I replaced the plugs and wires. Easy fix... not to worry.

What's happening is that you've either inadvertently pushed the spark plug boot wire on to the plug by being a little overzealous and forced the actual terminal inside the boot too far away from the plug, or your plug wire came with the terminal set too far back in the plug. Disconnect the wire from the plug,grab a pair of very long needle-nose pliers, reach inside the wire boot and grap the circular terminal firmly, and pull on it carefully while pulling the boot back with the other hand. It's OK if you pull it out too far; when you reseat it on the plug, you can push on the boot to have it seal around the plug AFTER you feel the terminal click onto the plug.

Let me guess... Bosch plug wires with the big shelf on the boot designed to make it easier to push on the boot?

Hope that helps.
