Default 69 Wiper arm help

Well.. I replaced the driver side wiper transmission and now they work.. the issue i am having now is the passenger side tried to come up too soon and gets hung under the cowl.. i have to pop it loose and it works fine.. when closing, the passenger wont go down far enough and the cowl sits on it.. I have to push the wiper arm down and then the cowl closes fine. I tried pushing the slider to the right on the wiper motor arm that bolts the passenger transmission rod to the wiper motor.. still no luck... is it the transmission on the passenger side needing replacing or some adjustment I am missing... It also appears to have aftermarket wiper arms on it .. I was wondering if they are too high?

Install the correct wiper arms/blades. AIM shows the installation and lists the original part numbers. Also outlines the arm adjustment procedure.
