Wipers too Long?

I have run into a bit of a conundrum as the wipers on our pre-owned 2022 Defender 110 seem to be too long and measure 23" and rest below the A-pillar trim when wipers are parked. (image shows wiper Right side on top off A-pillar to show over lap)

We didn't know if the previous owners installed the incorrect wipers so we purchased what we were told is the correct wipers for our model:

These are the same length (23" long). I'm not finding anything showing a 22" option for the 2022 Defender. Has anyone else ran into this on an early L663?

are you sure the wiper arm, not the blade, is in the correct position

Could be incorrect; trying to figure if that might be the isssue. Looks like it was the same arm that was sold when brand new. I have a close up picture of this vehicle in action at the TReK event before sold from the dealer. Maybe it was damaged before this picture and replaced with another model LR.

22” is correct, I bought some from LR parts. Think they also fit a VW Beetle

You may be correct. I have a sneaking suspension that the arm was set wrong in the past and the splines in the arm are damaged. I took a stab at re-clocking and it’s not hitting the A-pillar trim but a little higher than I would like. Since the splines are damaged, seems it can only be either a bit too low or a bit too high, but good enough now.
