Parts are usually not interchangeable between the different brands.
Check and see if the valve will move in and out when you pull on it. If so, there may be hope. Two weeks ago I had a situation on a single lever faucet in which the hardware would not go on because the valve was too far back in the wall. The tile guy and the plumber did not communicate at all on this job. The lady was in the throes of a major testosterone attack and insisted that I try this and try that. I didn't see a cure for the problem, but I started pecking away at the tile with a hammer and chisel, working the backer board and tile around with one eye on keeping the hole behind the escutcheon. It worked out, and I was able to pull the valve forward enough to get the hardware on, maybe just an inch.
