It might help to remove the escutcheon (the chrome trim thingy) and put it back after you've got the new handle in. Also make sure it's not locked.

Mine are floppy when the door is not pushed firmly into the frame ie the lock has not fully engaged. Try pushing hard to make sure the lock has fully released passed the catch and see if still floppy then....
