Generally, wiper arms only go on the studs one way because of the keyway, but I'm not sure about our cars. Have you tried the wipers yet to see if they park different? Or is the blade bent? You could pull it off and see if you could rotate it a slot or 2.
Or contact whoever changed your windshield to have them correct it.

I got you these for reference , they are from my 2011 GS. The circles are where the clearance really matters when parked. I measured the distance from end of blade rubber to the plastic cowl , there is 5/16 (+/- 1/16) gap when parked at the red circles.
