If the magazine can not be fully inserted into the magwell with 8 rounds loaded then it sounds to me like it’s a 7 round magazine.
Eight rounds will NOT fit into a seven round magazine. If it will hold eight then it is an eight round magazine. If it's a seven round magazine then it will only hold seven. So it sounds to me like you can't count.

I don’t know much about your Taurus PT 1911, but all my Kimber 1911 guns come with 7 round magazines. You can purchase 8 round mags, but they extend out from the bottom of the magwell as to accommodate the extra round.
You don't know much about 1911 pattern magazines in general.
While there are a few brands of eight round magazines that are slightly longer there are even more brands available that are the same length as a standard seven round magazine. And you can purchase a flush eight round magazine from Kimber who just so happens to make one of the best.
