77 Wiper System Questions

Good Afternoon guys,
A few questions about the wiper system in my 77 New Yorker. Got the system back together and reinstalled it in the car. Now we are attaching the arms and testing them. However, we noticed that the blades’ range of motion goes lower on the body than when the blades are in park. Is this normal? Makes it hard to keep the blades low in park without them hitting the plastic stops when on.
Thanks,
