Dielectric paste to coil boots for lubrication on .98x coil-on-plug?

Hi friends, I have a question: do you use dielectric paste to lubricate the coil boots on a coil-on-plug system? The new coil boots fit so tightly onto the spark plugs that I’m afraid they won’t slide all the way on—they just crumple up instead! I bought them from FCP; they used to be Beru, but now they’re branded as Karlyn.
 
A small bit of dielectric grease as lubricant won't hurt.

Karlyn is not OR nor OEM, that is an aftermarket item. Originals (OE) would be Beru or Bosch. I wonder if the Karlyns fit tighter than they should.
