Default wiper arm failure

wiper arms hit together and one broke. I got new arms and blades. Drivers side seems to sit too low. Rather than turn on wipers and break the new
arms, I am going to take apart down to the motor arms and see if I can figure it out.

To adjust the wipers
Take one arm off and turn the other one on then turn the car off while the one wiper is in the middle of the window. Then put the other one on and remove the screen.
Adjust the slider so they are further apart, tighten and turn them on/off when they meet so you can adjust the gap.
Good Luck!
