It is possible that someone at the tube socket factory screwed up way back when. Just make certain that you are counting the pin numbers right. If so, then see if there are enough contacts in the socket to make the necessary connections to the tube. You may be able to remove unused contacts, and move them to the right places. You might be able to steal some unused contacts from a rectifier socket, too. But if the contacts were moulded into the socket, then that won't work. You could also take contacts out of a similar socket from a junkbox, and put them in.
