That’s definitely wrong placement lol. Should work the way you had it in the other pics. I think a lot of Metro seals are crappy copies of original. Not sure if that is intended to give better seal, or cheaper to make, or?... I have a there door seals. Good fit, but not quite the same. Softer rubber, so I think they oversize some dimensions to allow for the softer compound compressing. The side bumpers for my hood would not let it close. Had to find some good originals.
