It doesn't fit properly vs It isn't fitting properly

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'It doesn't fit properly' is more commonly used to express a general statement about something not being the correct size. On the other hand, 'it isn't fitting properly' is used when referring to an ongoing or continuous action of fitting. The choice between the two depends on the specific context and the emphasis the speaker wants to convey.
