They will loosen up in a short time. My full size 9mm M&P would not hold full capacity when new, but actually let me load full on the very next mag.

Try loading with the slide locked back.
When you load a full magazine with the slide closed, you have to compress another 1/2 cartridge diameter against the bottom of the slide to seat the mag, and that can be tough with a new mag.
