That's right they are inconsistent with the combination of 1.) dark matter is the correct theory and 2.) they have the usual amount of dark matter for a galaxy

That's right they are inconsistent with the combination of
1.) dark matter is the correct theory and
2.) they have the usual amount of dark matter for a galaxy of that size.
Surprisingly this is does not make the theory of dark matter (#1) less likely, but actually makes it more likely. Because the alternative is #1b "gravity works differently than we think". But that would have to hold for all galaxies.
