This could mean that either the battery is installed incorrectly or it is the wrong size battery.
Check to make sure that the correct terminals are on the same ends of the m\battery as the original. Different cars have terminals on different sides depending on which side of the car the battery is located. There are also different size batteries having one that is too tall or too wide can make fit a problem.
When purchasing a battery (typical set up at any of the Mart stores) There is a catalog of sorts wghere you can look up your car make, model, year, and engine type / size. this will give you the part number of the correctly configured battery.
Another reason is maybe you put it in the car backwards (hey even the best of us can make a mistake).
If none of the above is a possibility then maybe the cable is under the battery check your installation methods to ensure that nothing is being trapped or pinched.

first you need to disconnect the negative cable (black) you need to use a 10mm or 12mm wrench to loosen the nut at the cable post, move away the cable so it does not touch the battery. Next do the same for the positive side (red), move away the cable so it does not touch the battery. in front of the battery on the bottom is a bolt, use either a 12mm, 13mm, or 14mm (which ever fits) socket with a extention to reach the bolt and remove it, remove the metal bracket the bolt was screwed to and the battery can now be removed ***when installing the new battery REMEMBER to reconnect the positive (red) cable first then negative (black) cable as this will prevent a voltage spike from happening
