Default Passenger side windshield wiper arm

Hello my passenger side wiper blade doesn’t close correctly it looks like the bend is different than the drivers
side.
Would someone post a photo of what the passenger side wiper blade looks like!!!
I’m trying to determine if I have the correct wiper arm on on my car.

Thank you,
Frank

Looks about right. Does your arm have the adjuster screw on the side? Might just need to be tweaked.
There is adjustment on the linkage as well but start where it's easy

Giving the year of the car also helps, The avatar helps but it's easier if it's just there

Unfortunately I can't show them on the car (mines' out of commission right now)
I do have a set off the car though.
Here's the adjuster screw that should be there (I believe all of the ones with the wiper door had the screws)


Here's what happens when the screw is turned, it pivots the arm where it exits the arm base and allows for it to be positioned off the trim and on the stop

Just remember a small adjustment there is a fairly large move out at the wiper tip
