Default mangled oil filter from pressure?

everytime i change my oil filter it looks like someone stepped on the oil filter and beat it with a wrench..maybe because the turbos are making the engine superhot? any ideas

you're putting the filter on, correct? by hand or with a wrench?

Are you filling with the proper amount of oil and torquing the filter to proper specs? Is the filter ballooning at all or is it like an implosion? And how long after you change the oil does this happen?

it is most like an implosion, the filter is changed every 3.5/4k and torqued the right way
